Top 3 trade ideas for 12 August 2026

Trade ideas for AUDCAD, EURNZD, and EURGBP are available today. The ideas expire on 13 August 2026 at 8:00 AM (GMT +3).

AUDCAD trade idea

AUDCAD analysis shows that the correction following the decline is coming to an end. Buying pressure is easing, and the bears are beginning to gain the upper hand. The AUDCAD trade idea for today involves placing a pending Sell Limit order at 0.9837.

Fundamentally, the sell idea appears justified, primarily due to the current strengthening of the Canadian dollar. Canada's economy added around 75 thousand jobs in July, while unemployment fell to 6.4%, its lowest level in two years. At the same time, rising oil prices are providing additional support for the CAD as the currency of a major energy exporter.

Trading plan

• Entry point: 0.9837
• Target 1: 0.9780
• Target 2: 0.9760
• Stop-loss: 0.9856

EURNZD trade idea

EURNZD analysis shows that the upside potential is fairly limited. Technically, the scenario also remains predominantly bearish. The EURNZD trade idea for today involves placing a pending Sell Limit order at 1.9769.

Fundamentally, the sell idea appears justified. The main factor supporting the pair’s decline is the more hawkish stance of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand: in July, the RBNZ raised the rate by 25 basis points to 2.50% and explicitly indicated that further rate hikes remain likely. This supports the NZD. The first target at 1.9613 offers potential profit of 156 pips, while the second target at 1.9583 increases it to 186 pips. The stop-loss at 1.9821 limits the risk to 52 pips, corresponding to a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:3 for the first target and 1:4 for the second.

Trading plan

• Entry point: 1.9769
• Target 1: 1.9613
• Target 2: 1.9583
• Stop-loss: 1.9821

EURGBP trade idea

EURGBP analysis shows a sustained downward movement. Technically, the short-term structure remains bearish. The current price is above the intended entry point, so a pullback to 112.00 could provide a more favourable buying opportunity. The EURGBP trade idea for today involves placing a pending Sell Limit order at 0.8549.

Fundamentally, the sell idea appears fairly logical. The interest rate differential remains in favour of the pound: the Bank of England is keeping its rate at 3.75%. At the same time, the ECB is maintaining its deposit rate at 2.25%, so the higher yield on UK rates continues to support the GBP. The first target at 0.8513 offers potential profit of 36 pips, while the second target at 0.8503 increases it to 46 pips. The stop-loss at 0.8561 limits the risk to 12 pips, resulting in a risk-to-reward ratio of 1:3 for the first target and approximately 1:3.8 for the second.

Trading plan

• Entry point: 0.8549
• Target 1: 0.8513
• Target 2: 0.8503
• Stop-loss: 0.8561
