USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Eyes falling trendline hurdle after the bullish RSI divergence

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

The USD/CAD pair is currently trading at 1.3117 and could rise test the falling trendline resistance, currently at 1.3170, as the relative strength index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart has diverged in favor of the bulls.

4-hour chart

The bullish divergence of the RSI occurs when the indicator clocks higher lows in response to lower lows in price and is widely considered an early indicator of a trend reversal.

In USD/CAD's case, the bull RSI divergence has opened the doors to 1.3170 - resistance of the trendline trending south from the Jan. 24 and Jan. 29 highs.

A move below 1.3068 would invalidate the RSI divergence and could yield a drop to the psychological support of 1.30.
