USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Bears patiently waiting for a drop to 1.2960 level


  • USD/CAD is consolidating the main uptrend since June 27 as bulls are unable to print new highs. 
  • USD/CAD is breaking below the ascending bull trendline opening the doors to 1.2959 August 7 swing low. 
  • A sustained bull breakout above 1.3120-1.3155 area would negate the short-term bearish bias.
