USDCAD remains unimpressive after breaking a seven-week-old horizontal support zone the previous day. That said, the RSI (14) rebounds from oversold territory and hence lures the buyers. However, a clear upside break of the support-turned-resistance area surrounding 1.3410, backed by the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) hawkish tone, becomes necessary to convince buyers....
USDCAD again fails to remain beyond the 200-DMA, suggesting another attempt in breaking an upward-sloping support line from November 2022, close to 1.3320 at the latest. The lower highs in the last two months and downbeat oscillators seem to put the Loonie pair bears in a better position this time. Hence, a break of the key support line appears more likely, which...
Be it a clear downside break of the 10-week-old ascending trend line or sustained trading below the 200-SMA, not to forget the latest fall below one-week-long rising trend line, USDCAD has it all to keep its place on the bear’s radar. The quote’s further downside, however, hinges on the Bank of Canada (BoC) monetary policy decision and the US Consumer Price Index...
USDCAD justifies a downside break of a five-week-old ascending trend channel, as well as downbeat RSI and MACD signals, despite marching towards the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of October-November 2022 downside, near 1.3690 ahead of the Bank of Canada (BoC) Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February. Should the inflation gauge suggests further rate hikes from...
Friday’s US jobs report finally offered the much-needed bounce to the USDCAD pair. However, the Canadian employment numbers and Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Tiff Macklem’s speech makes the current week all the more important for the Loonie pair traders. Also making the quote interesting is the latest piercing of the 1.3430 resistance confluence, comprising the...
USDCAD sellers hold the reins for the sixth consecutive week so far as traders await the Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate decision on Wednesday. That said, the BoC’s likely 0.25% rate hike is expected to join the bearish MACD signals and favor the pair bears. However, a convergence of an upward-sloping trend line from June 2022 and a 50% Fibonacci retracement of...
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...
USDCAD portrays a bearish triangle formation after multiple rejections from the 1.3700 threshold. The sellers, however, await a clear downside break of the stated formation’s support, near 1.3590 by the press time, as well as the Bank of Canada inflation data. A clear break of the stated 1.3590 support, backed by upbeat BOC CPI, could quickly drag the quote to the...
USDCAD grabbed the bull’s attention ever since it crossed a two-month-old descending resistance line, now support around 1.3500. The upside bias also takes clues from the firmer RSI and MACD. However, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s October-November downside, near 1.3695, appears a tough nut to crack for buyers. Also acting as an upside filter...
A clear upside break of the 50-DMA and a descending trend line from October’s peak keeps USDCAD bulls hopeful ahead of the Bank of Canada’s (BOC) interest rate hike announcement. That said, the Loonie pair’s upside towards the previous monthly top surrounding 1.3800 appears imminent. However, multiple hurdles near 1.3850 could challenge the quote’s additional...
USDCAD grinds lower inside a bullish chart pattern. That said, the 50-DMA hurdle surrounding 1.3570 guards the Loonie pair’s immediate upside before highlighting the flag’s upper line, around 1.3620. In a case where the quote rises past 1.3620, the odds favoring a run-up toward the monthly high of 1.3976 and then to the 1.4000 psychological magnet can’t be ruled...
USDCAD posted the biggest daily slump in six years on Friday and pushed back the bulls. The bears, however, have a long way to cover before taking control as a 15-month-old rising trend line, around 1.3330 by the press time, defends the upside expectations. Even if the quote breaks the said key support, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of August-October upside,...
USDCAD again battle with the resistance line of an upward sloping trend channel since late October 2021. Given the rebound in oil prices and RSI pullback, the Loonie pair is likely to witness further declines ahead of the key data/events from Canada. That said, a three-week-old support line and the 100-DMA, respectively around 1.3000 and 1.2860, appear strong...
Bank of Canada (BOC) is up for the first rate-hike since 2017 but the markets are have already priced in a 0.25% lift to the benchmark rate, which in turn may not entertain the USDCAD bears until forward guidance appears hawkish. Technically, 100-EMA and 200-EMA offer strong supports near 1.2660 and 1.2640 to limit the quote’s short-term downside. If the pair...
USDCAD remains chopped inside a 140-pip trading range in the last two weeks, recently fading the bounce off the lower end comprising 200-SMA. Given the steady RSI and a pullback in oil prices, Canada’s key export, the Loonie pair is up for further recovery. However, comments from the Bank of Canada (BOC) Governor Tiff Macklem will be crucial to watch for intraday...
A clear downside break of 100-SMA and monthly rising channel joins bearish MACD signals to keep USDCAD sellers hopeful as they brace for the Bank of Canada (BOC) Interest Rate Decision on Wednesday. It should, however, be noted that the RSI line inches closer to the oversold territory, suggesting a bumpy road to the south. That said, multiple tops marked during...
US dollar bulls dominate markets following the return of the American and Canadian traders on Tuesday, portraying the heaviest daily gains of the greenback in three weeks. The same portrayed the USDCAD bounce off 100-day EMA, keeping the recovery moves ahead of the key Bank of Canada (BOC) monetary policy meeting. Given the firmer RSI and fundamental scopes for...
