The majority of the GBP exotic pairs on the market have been retracing against their major trends, so this upcycle would be expected to be 2-3 days, similar to the recent retracements and up cycles on the GBP/AUD and GBP/NZD. This happens frequently when pairs with one common currency follow each other like dominoes falling, we call this the domino effect. In this case the GBP/CAD should follow the GBP/AUD and GBP/NZD recent moves up. The H4 time frame on the chart below is some simple 5/12 exponential moving averages set up on the meta trader charting platform.
