USD/CAD Price Forecast: Treads water above 1.3900 as bullish bias prevails
- USD/CAD may rebound toward the ascending channel’s upper boundary around 1.4000.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index holds above the 50 mark, reinforcing the prevailing bullish bias.
- The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3876.
USD/CAD trades around 1.3920 during the European hours on Monday, halting its five-winning streak. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests that the pair moves upwards within an ascending channel pattern, suggesting that the bullish bias prevails.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 level, strengthening the ongoing bullish bias. Additionally, the USD/CAD pair remains above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting the short-term price momentum is stronger.
On the upside, the USD/CAD pair may target the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.4000, followed by the five-month high at 1.4016, which was reached on May 13. A break above this crucial resistance zone would strengthen the bullish bias and support the pair to approach the psychological level of 1.4100.
The USD/CAD pair may find its initial support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3876, aligned with the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 1.3870. A break below the channel would weaken the bullish bias and put downward pressure on the pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3809.
Further declines below the 50-day EMA would dampen the medium-term price momentum and prompt the pair to navigate the region around the two-month low of 1.3721, which was recorded on August 7.
