GBP/CAD market insights
Pivot points are a technical indicator that traders use to predict upcoming areas of technical significance, such as support and resistance. They're calculated by averaging the high, low and closing prices of a previous period. That could be a day, a week or a month.
If a market is trading above its previous pivot point (known as P), it is seen as a bullish signal. If it is below, it is bearish.
Support and resistance levels are a core part of technical analysis, providing crucial insight into possible future price reversals.

GBP/CAD overview
GBP/CAD is an FX pair with the Great British pound as the base currency and the Canadian dollar as the quote currency. The live price of GBP/CAD tells you the pound’s current value in Canadian dollars.
The market is considered a minor pair, as it pits the world’s fourth most-traded currency (GBP) against the seventh (CAD).* As such, it may see lower liquidity than forex markets featuring the US dollar such as USD/CAD and GBP/USD.
Canada is a major exporter of commodities, so commodity volatility can have a significant impact on the CAD price.
