USD/CAD extends its winning streak for the second session on Tuesday amid a stable US Dollar (USD), which could be attributed to the risk aversion ahead of the key economic data from the United States (US). The USD/CAD pair inches higher to near 1.3590 during the Asian trading hours.

The technical analysis of the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above 50, suggesting bullish momentum for the USD/CAD pair to surpass the psychological resistance of 1.3600 following the major barrier of 1.3650.

Furthermore, the lagging indicator, Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), indicates a confirmation of a bullish trend for the USD/CAD pair. This interpretation is based on the MACD line's position above the centerline and the signal line.

On the downside, the USD/CAD pair could find the key support region around the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3552 aligned with the major support level of 1.3550. A break below this zone could prompt the pair to navigate the further support region around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.3505, in conjunction with the psychological level of 1.3500.
