USD/CAD is heading lower on the day and is down some 1.17% as we head towards the forex close in New York. The pair has been pressured below 1.3500 to a low of 1.3371 on Friday.

There are eyes on a move back into the supply, however, as the pair has painted an M-formation on the charts as the following daily chart illustrates:
