  • The pair’s trading under February 13 low of 1.3195 signal extension to recent decline towards 1.3155 and a 200-day simple moving average of 1.3140.
  • However, an upward sloping support-line stretched since October 2018 and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of October January upside can confine the pair’s additional south-run at 1.3110.
  • On the upside, 1.3285 and 50-day SMA level of 1.3335 could please the buyers ahead of challenging them with 1.3375.

  • Meanwhile, 1.3265 and 1.3300 appear as adjacent resistances to follow.

USD/CAD hourly chart
