USD/CAD Price Forecast: Support appears at 1.3850 with potential corrective rebounds

  • USD/CAD may find support near the six-month low of 1.3828, recorded on Monday.
  • The 14-day RSI indicates oversold conditions, pointing to the possibility of a short-term rebound.
  • Initial resistance is positioned at the nine-day EMA around 1.4025, followed by the descending channel’s upper boundary.

The USD/CAD pair extends its decline for the fifth consecutive session, hovering around 1.3860 during European trading on Tuesday. Daily chart technical analysis highlights a dominant bearish trend, with the pair trending lower within a descending channel formation.

Additionally, the USD/CAD pair remains below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), signaling weak short-term price momentum. Meanwhile, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stays below the 30 level, suggesting the bearish bias is in play but also indicating oversold conditions. This opens the door for potential short-term corrective rebounds.

On the downside, USD/CAD may retest the six-month low of 1.3828, marked on Monday, which coincides with the lower boundary of the descending channel near the 1.3770 level. A decisive break below this channel could reinforce the bearish bias and pave the way for a move toward the 1.3419 area — its lowest point since February 2024.

Initial resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA around 1.4025, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel near 1.4150. A breakout above this channel could shift the bias to bullish, potentially driving the USD/CAD pair toward the 50-day EMA at 1.4230. Beyond that, further resistance is located at the two-month high of 1.4543, set on March 4.
