For the Tokyo open, we are seeing a break of resistance 1.2960 that could open the way to a bullish extension below 1.2965, 1.2970 and to 1.2980:

USD/CAD M15 chart

On the back of the W-formation breakout, and given that the price has been marking out its support base on the structure of the 15-min chart, if the bulls continue to close above the said levels, the 1.30s will be back in vogue:

USD/CAD prior analysis, H4 chart

It was stated in the prior analysis that the price had been rising along the trendline but had moved away which could result in a correction as the price meets a resistance zone:

As illustrated, the price moved into the support line, popped the resistance and has since pulled below the trendline which would now be expected to act as a counter-trendline for the sessions ahead. The price has left a bullish reversion pattern on the charts also. This is pulling the price into the Fibonacci scale with 1.2970/90 an area that could be exploited by the bulls in the day ahead. Thereafter, the neckline of the pattern guards a break above 1.3020. On the downside, the bears could be encouraged on a break below 1.2950 support:
