USD/CAD

Trying to bounce.

  • USD/CAD is trying to bounce near support at 1.3277. However a break of resistance at 1.3353 is needed to invalidate the current short term bearish technical structure. The road seems wide-open for larger decline. Key support is given at 1.2969 (31/01/2017 low).

  • 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).
