At the time of writing, USD/CAD is trading at the highest level since September 11th and testing the 1.32 area with a high of 1.3206.
The following offers a bullish bias and offers yet another opportunity to take advantage of a bullish environment on the 4Hr time frame to catch what is expected to be a bullish wave and completion of a bullish reverse head and shoulders.

The daily chart has resulted in a huge bearish wick which totally invalidates the bullish outlook for the time being.

The trade will potentially result in a loss.
