Weak if breaches below 1.2992/90
The USDCAD pair weakened for the third consecutive session yesterday and ended below the 200day SMA (currently placed at 1.3116/15) at 1.3069, following a low at 1.3058. As clearly visible on the daily chart, the momentum oscillators are trending towards south, reflecting selling pressure on the pair. Also, the 8H momentum oscillators are showing no signs of reversal yet, further substantiating the above stance. Important support is seen at the 2H lower Bollinger band (currently trading at 1.3036/35), followed by the 1.3011/10 and 1.2992/90 levels. A clear breach below the latter might generate further negativity in the pair. However, a potential signal line crossover from below by the 2H MACD, suggests at likely correction over intraday basis. Key resistance is placed at the 1.3086/90 level, followed by the 2H 20SMA (currently trading at 1.3111/15) and 1.3140 levels.
