USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Stronger corrective bounce likely

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

The USD/CAD pair is currently trading at 1.3148 - up 0.6 percent from the three-month low of 1.3068 hit on Feb. 1.

That corrective bounce could be extended further toward 1.32 in the next day or two, as the hourly chart is reporting a major bullish reversal pattern.

Hourly chart

The inverse head-and-shoulders breakout - a transition from the lower highs and lower lows to the higher highs and higher lows - seen in the above chart indicates a bearish-to-bullish trend change.
The spot has also found acceptance above the trendline sloping downwards from the Jan. 24 and Jan. 29 highs.
The pair, therefore, could extend the corrective bounce to the downward sloping 200-hour moving average (MA), currently at 1.389.
A move below 1.3124 would invalidate the bullish setup.
