USD/CAD Price Forecast: Tests 1.4000 barrier after breaking above nine-day EMA
- USD/CAD tests the immediate resistance at the psychological level of 1.4000.
- Technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a price consolidation.
- The pair may find its initial support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3985.
USD/CAD extends its gains for the second successive session, trading around 1.3990 during the early European hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a price consolidation, with the USD/CAD pair rebounding from the lower boundary of its rectangle pattern.
The short-term price momentum is stronger as the pair is positioned above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved above the 50 level, indicating a potential for a bullish revival.
On the upside, the immediate barrier appears at the psychological level of 1.4000. A break above this level would lead the USD/CAD pair to explore the region around the rectangle’s upper boundary, around 1.4060, followed by the six-month high of 1.4079, reached on October 14.
The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3985, followed by the rectangle’s lower boundary around 1.3930 and the 50-day EMA at 1.3921. A break below this confluence support zone would cause the emergence of the bearish bias and open the doors for the USD/CAD pair to navigate the region around the “throwback support” near the three-month low of 1.3721, which was recorded on August 7.
