USD/CAD 30min
Chart Created Using FXCM Marketscope 2.0
Technical Outlook: USD/CAD made a strong defense of the weekly open last night at 1.3020, keeping our near-term focus higher in the exchange rate while above the lower median-line parallel extending off the 2016 low. The pair is testing near-term confluence resistance here and although we're holding short scalps off this level, we'll be on the lookout of resistance-triggers on a move lower to offer favorable long-entries.
A breach above slope resistance targets subsequent objectives at the 1.32-handle, last week's open at 1.3255 & a basic 23.6% retracement of the yearly range at 1.3289. A break below the lower median-line (blue) invalidates our topside bias with a break sub-1.2967/82 needed to shift the focus back towards resumption of the broader decline off the January high. Such a scenario eyes support targets lower at 1.2933 & the October low-day close at 1.2861. Continue tracking this setup and more throughout the week- Subscribe to
