USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Double top forming as the Greenback is losing steam near October highs - Ready for a pullback to 1.3000 figure

  • USD/CAD bear is losing steam near 1.3050 unable to break above the October high. 
  • If bulls don’t retake control of the market the market is likely to form a double top with a potential move down towards 1.3000 in the coming session. 
  • Alternatively, a strong breakout above 1.3050 would invalidate the bearish bias.
