USD/CAD Price Forecast: Tests nine-day EMA barrier near 1.3700

  • USD/CAD may find the primary support at nine-month low of 1.3539.
  • The market bias is bearish as the 14-day RSI is positioned below the 50 level.
  • The immediate resistance appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.3697.

USD/CAD gains ground after two days of losses, trading around 1.3690 during the early European hours on Monday. However, the bearish bias persists as the daily chart’s technical analysis indicates that the pair moves sideways within the descending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned below the 50 level, suggesting the strengthening of a bearish bias. Additionally, the USD/CAD pair has moved below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting the short-term price momentum is weaker.

On the downside, the USD/CAD pair may target the primary support at nine-month low of 1.3539. A successful break below this level could reinforce the bearish bias and prompt the pair to navigate the region around 1.3419, the lowest since February 2024, followed by the lower boundary of the descending channel around the psychological level of 1.3300.

The USD/CAD pair is testing the immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA of 1.3697, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.3742, aligned with the descending channel’s upper boundary. A break above this crucial resistance zone would improve the short- and medium-term price momentum and support the pair to explore the region around the three-month high of 1.4016, which was reached on May 13.

Taking out the lines in the sand
Good Day... And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! Well, just as I suspected, my beloved Cardinals' bats went silent last night in the Bronx, and they lost 0-2... The Yankees' bats were exactly a murderer's row, but they hit 2 homers and won. I said yesterday that the song : Just Once In My Life, could be the Cardinals' song after hitting 5 home runs the previous night!
