USD/CAD Price Forecast: Trades below 1.3600, nine-day EMA as bearish bias prevails
- USD/CAD may fall toward 1.3473, its lowest level since September 2024.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index near 37 signals sustained selling pressure.
- The immediate barrier lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3630.
USD/CAD extends its losses for the second successive day, trading around 1.3590 during the early European hours on Wednesday. However, the technical analysis of the daily chart indicates the pair is positioned within the descending channel pattern, signaling an ongoing bearish bias.
The USD/CAD pair maintains a bearish near-term tone as spot holds beneath both the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA. The pair has eased from recent highs with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 37, which hints at persistent selling pressure rather than a decisive oversold condition.
On the downside, the USD/CAD pair may navigate the region around 1.3473, the lowest since September 2024. Further declines would expose the lower boundary of the descending channel around 1.3410.
The immediate barrier lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3630, followed by the upper descending channel boundary around 1.3650. A sustained break above this confluence resistance zone may cause the emergence of the bullish bias and support the pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3715. Further advances above the medium-term average would lead the USD/CAD pair to explore the region around the five-month high of 1.3967, reached on March 31.
