USD/CAD four-hour chart

 
The market is having a sideways consolidation below the 1.3000 handle and the main SMAs. The spot remains fragile to bearish attacks with a potential incursion below the 1.2954 support, which can lead to more losses towards the 1.2873/1.2846 support zone. Conversely, a strong bounce from the current level could become a candidate for a reversal up; however, buyers would need to overcome the 1.3048 and 1.3089 resistances to the upside, according to the Technical Confluences Indicator.
