USD/CAD: Renewed buying pressures

USD/CHF

Trading sideways.

• USD/CHF keeps on declining despite strong volatility. The short-term technical structure is negative as long as prices remain below the hourly resistance at 1.0171 (07/03/2017). Monitor strong support given at 0.9814 (27/03/2017 low).

• In the long-term, the pair is still trading in range since 2011 despite some turmoil when the SNB unpegged the CHF. Key support can be found 0.8986 (30/01/2015 low). The technical structure favours nonetheless a long term bullish bias since the unpeg in January 2015.

 

USD/CAD

Renewed buying pressures.

• USD/CAD has broken key resistance given at 1.3599 (28/12/206 high). Yet, the pair has failed to go any higher. There is still a strong upside momentum. Hourly support can be found at 1.3411 (24/04/2017 high) then 1.3353 (20/01/2017 high). Expected to show renewed bullish pressures as long as the pair remains above 1.3411.

• In the longer term, there is a golden cross with the 50 dma crossing the 200 dma indicating further upside pressures. Strong resistance is given at 1.4690 (22/01/2016 high). Long-term support can be found at 1.2461 (16/03/2015 low).

 

AUD/USD

Continued decline.

• AUD/USD has broken support at 0.7473 (12/04/2017 low). As long as prices remain below the resistance at 0.7608 (17/04/2017 high), the short-term technical structure is negative. Key resistance stands at 0.7681 (30/03/2017 high). Expected to show further weakness.

• In the long-term, we are waiting for further signs that the current downtrend is ending. Key supports stand at 0.6009 (31/10/2008 low) . A break of the key resistance at 0.8295 (15/01/2015 high) is needed to invalidate our long-term bearish view.
