USDCAD TECHS: Watching Support

Jun-21 20:00
  • RES 4: 1.3977 High Oct 13 ‘23 and a key M/T resistance
  • RES 3: 1.3899 High Nov 1 and a key resistance
  • RES 2: 1.3846/55 High Apr 16 and the bull trigger / High Nov 10 2023

  • SUP 3: 1.3512 50.0% retracement of the Dec 27 - Apr 16 bull cycle
  • SUP 4: 1.3478 Low Apr 4

USDCAD has traded lower this week and has pierced the Jun 12 low of 1.3680, and 1.3676, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of these supports would signal scope for a continuation lower near-term, towards key support at 1.3590, the May 16 low. A clear break of this level would threaten a bullish theme. The trend outlook remains bullish, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on the medium-term resistance at 1.3846, the Apr 16 high.

AUDUSD continues to trade within its range. The recent sideways move has defined key resistance at 0.6714, the May 16 high and key support at 0.6576, the Jun 10 low. Both levels represent key short-term directional triggers. Clearance of 0.6714, would open 0.6751, a Fibonacci retracement. A break below 0.6576 would expose 0.6558 initially, the May 8 low. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode set-up and highlight an uptrend.
