A bear theme in USDCAD remains intact and this week’s move down reinforces current bearish conditions. The pair has traded through all key retracement points of the bull cycle between Jun 16 - Nov 5. Scope is seen for an extension towards 1.3637 next, the Jul 25 low. Note that the trend is oversold. A corrective bounce would allow this condition to unwind. Initial firm resistance is at 1.3838, the 20-day EMA.
