USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Bears keep USD/CAD below 1.3100 figure


  • USD/CAD is trading down for the second consecutive day as USD/CAD couldn’t sustain prices above the 1.3120-1.3155 zone and the daily bearish trendline. Bears are now keeping USD/CAD below the 1.3100 figure and the next scaling points to the downside are located near 1.3053-1.3066 area. 
  • Bulls need to recapture the 1.3120-1.3155 zone but the current short-term bearish momentum seems to prevail for now as the 50-period simple moving average crossed below the 200-period SMA on the 15-minute chart.
