GBP/CAD prior analysis
''With that being said, the price is making a strong advance towards the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level having broken the 50% mean reversion level at 1.6920. 1.6920 could act as a firm support. This could potentially lead to some further consolidation above it for the sessions ahead before a potential downside continuation.''
