USDCAD TECHS: Bearish Trend Condition

May-18 19:30

  • RES 3: 1.4111 High Apr 4 
  • RES 2: 1.4026 50-day EMA 
  • RES 1: 1.4016 High May 12 / 13

  • SUP 4: 1.3643 Low Oct 9 ‘24 

USDCAD maintains a firmer short-term tone for now. Despite the latest move higher, the trend condition remains bearish and recent strength is considered corrective. A fresh cycle low on May 6 reinforces the bearish theme. A resumption of weakness would open 1.3744, a Fibonacci retracement. Note that moving average studies are in a bear mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend. Key resistance is seen at 1.4026, the 50-day EMA.

Note that moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting an uptrend. A resumption of the trend would open 0.6550, a Fibonacci retracement.
