USD/CAD: Technical momentum is mildly bearish – Scotiabank
|USD/CAD edges slightly lower. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s outlook.
Firm resistance at 1.3510/1.3520
Risk appetite looks relatively constructive in Asia (ex-Japan) and Europe while US equity futures are narrowly mixed. Crude is trading firmer on the session. These are mild positives for the CAD.
Technical momentum is mildly USD-bearish.
The pair eased back sharply from Monday’s intraday peak, leaving a negative tone to short-term price signals while shorter-term DMI oscillators are aligned bearishly for the USD. That should mean firm resistance at 1.3510/1.3520 intraday (strong resistance at 1.3600/1.3610 more generally).
Support is 1.3420.
