USD/CAD Technical Analysis: USD bulls might be out of breath - USD/CAD sub-1.3200


  • USD/CAD is back near the notorious 1.3120-1.3155 range of the past weeks. 
  • USD/CAD had a strong 140-pip drop last Friday and the currency pair is trading below its 200-period simple moving average.
  • If the slowdown in the bullish momentum sees a bear breakout below 1.3120 it can lead to an acceleration towards 1.3066-1.3053. As long as USD/CAD stays below 1.3155-1.3200 and the 200-period SMA, the risk of a bearish reversal persists.
