USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Off 4.5-month low, the pair is respecting oversold 1H RSI

The USD/CAD dropped to 1.2813 in Asia - the lowest level since May 23 - as the Canadian dollar picked up a strong bid on NAFT deal.
As of writing, the pair is down more than 200 pips from Friday's high of 1.3048 and is looking oversold as per the relative strength index (RSI) on the hourly chart.
Notably, the hourly RSI has also breached the descending trendline. As a result, a minor bounce could be in the offing, possibly to 1.2884 (resistance of Sept. 20 low on the hourly chart).
