USDCAD - EXPECTING BREAKDOWN OF CONSOLIDATIONSymbol - USDCAD
The USDCAD pair is currently consolidating within the range of 1.4485 to 1.4280 The US dollar has been experiencing negative momentum recently. However, with the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report upcoming, the data could either reinforce the ongoing correction or provide support to the US dollar index. Market attention is focused on today's economic announcements. If the actual NFP results fall below the forecasted 169K, expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut are likely to strengthen.
Today, The Federal Reserve's monetary policy report will be released, potentially offering further insights into the regulator's future actions. Should the NFP data be weaker than anticipated, the US dollar may depreciate, leading to a potential decline in USDCAD. Conversely, if the data exceeds expectations, the US dollar is expected to strengthen, driving USDCAD higher. In the event that the Federal Reserve signals a potential rate cut, the US dollar could weaken, thereby supporting the Canadian dollar.
Resistance levels: 1.4345, 1.4370
Support level: 1.4280
Given the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming data, it is challenging to predict the precise market outcome. From a technical perspective, the currency pair appears weak due to the falling value of the US dollar. A break below the 1.4280 support level could signal further downside potential.
