USD/CAD breaks its three-day losing streak, trading around 1.3730 during the European session on Thursday. Analysis of the daily chart suggests a weakening bullish bias for the USD/CAD pair, as it has broken below the rising channel pattern. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still positioned slightly above the 50 level. Further movement may give a clear directional indication.

Additionally, the momentum indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggests a bullish trend for the pair as the MACD line is positioned above the centerline, it shows divergence above the signal line.

The USD/CAD pair may test the lower boundary of the rising channel around the level of 1.3760, followed by the key barrier at the psychological level of 1.3800. A return to the rising channel could reinforce the bullish bias and support the pair to explore the region April’s high of 1.3846.

A break above the latter could lead the USD/CAD pair to approach the upper threshold of the rising channel around the level of 1.3870.

On the downside, the USD/CAD pair could find immediate support at the psychological level of 1.3700, aligned with the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of 1.3697 level. A break below this level could exert pressure on the pair to navigate the region of the throwback support at 1.3590.
