USD/CAD Price Forecast: Tests upper descending wedge boundary near 1.3800
- USD/CAD could find primary support at the four-month low of 1.3721.
- The 14-day RSI at 33 stays below its midline, rebounding from oversold levels but limiting upside momentum.
- The pair tests the upper descending wedge boundary near 1.3790, followed by the 1.3800.
USD/CAD gains ground after registering modest losses in the previous session, trading around 1.3780 during the European hours on Wednesday. The daily chart suggests a potential upside breakout, with falling, converging trendlines forming a bullish descending wedge pattern.
However, the USD/CAD pair stays under the descending nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA, reinforcing a bearish bias. The short-term average remains below the 50-day EMA, keeping sellers in control.
Moving averages slope lower, and price action remains capped by the nine-day EMA, signaling a persistent downtrend. A recovery through the short-term average could trigger a corrective bounce. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 33 remains below its midline after rebounding from oversold but capping upside momentum.
The initial support appears at the four-month low of 1.3721, followed by the lower boundary of the descending wedge around 1.3710. Further support lies at the psychological level of 1.3700. A break below this level would put downward pressure on the USD/CAD pair to navigate the region around 1.3539, the lowest level since October 2024.
On the upside, the USD/CAD pair tests the upper descending wedge boundary around 1.3790, followed by the psychological level of 1.3800 and the nine-day EMA at 1.3811. A break above this confluence resistance zone could trigger a rebound and support the pair to target the 50-day EMA at 1.3928. Further barrier lies at the three-week high of 1.4014.
