USD/CAD reached a 14-month high of 1.4193 on Monday, near the ascending channel top.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 87 suggests stretched but still robust upward momentum.

USD/CAD continues to gain ground for the eighth successive day, trading around 1.4180 during the early European hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates the pair is moving upwards within the ascending channel pattern, signaling a persistent bullish bias.

The USD/CAD pair is maintaining a bullish near-term bias as it holds well above the nine-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers deep in overbought territory near 87, suggesting stretched but still strong upside momentum.

The USD/CAD pair recorded a fresh 14-month high of 1.4193 on June 22, aligned with the upper boundary of the ascending channel. A sustained break above this confluence resistance zone would open the door for further gains.

The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.4070. A break below the short-term price average would weaken the price momentum and put downward pressure on the pair to test the lower boundary of the ascending channel around 1.3960. Further declines would explore the region around the 50-day EMA at 1.3863.

US Payrolls miss – RBA on deck tomorrow

It would be remiss of me not to kick off this morning’s report with a rundown of last Friday’s US jobs report, which was a belter. Headline payrolls fell by 23,000, versus expectations of an 80,000 gain.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
