USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Bullish consolidation below 1.3200 mark
|• The pair remains confined in a narrow trading range below the 1.3200 handle, forming a rectangular chart pattern on the 1-hourly chart.
• Given that the pair has already broken through a two-month-old descending trend-channel, the formation could be seen as a pause in the bullish trend.
• Investors, however, seemed reluctant to place any bets and preferred to wait for any fresh update over the progress in talks to revise NAFTA.
• Mixed technical indicators on hourly/daily charts have also failed to support any firm directional bias.
• Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a decisive move in either direction before positioning for the near-term trajectory.
