USD/CAD
Mid−Day Forex Technical Report − Markets Still in Consolidation by ActionForex.com
USD/CAD turns sideway after being supported by 4 hours 55 EMA. After all, consolidation from 1.0322 is still in progress and risk of another fall remains as long as 1.0298 holds. Nevertheless, pull back is still expected to be contained well above 0.9957 resistance turned support. On the upside, above 1.0298 will suggest that rise from 0.9823 has resumed for upper end of medium term range near to 1.0378.
