USDCAD bears brace for mid-1.3200s with eyes on BOC’s Macklem
USDCAD remains depressed at the lowest levels in six weeks after breaking the 100-DMA as broad US Dollar weakness joins firmer oil prices. Even so, the bears are waiting for the Bank of Canada ( BOC ) Governor Tiff Macklem’s speech for further directions. That said, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of June-October upside, near 1.3250, appears the immediate support ahead of an upward-sloping support line from June 2022, close to the 1.3200 round figure. Should the Loonie pair drops below 1.3200, the 200-DMA support level of 1.3150 could act as the last defense of the pair buyers.
On the contrary, the 100-DMA hurdle surrounding 1.3480 challenges the short-term recovery moves of the USDCAD pair. Following that, a run-up towards the previous monthly peak of around 1.3700 can’t be ruled out. It’s worth noting, however, that multiple resistances around 1.3800 and 1.3850 could challenge the pair buyers past 1.3700, a break of which could propel prices towards the year 2022 top of 1.3977.
Overall, USDCAD is well-set on the bear’s radar despite the latest hesitance in refreshing the multi-day low.
