USDCAD TECHS: Outlook Remains Bullish

Jun-14 19:30
  • 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
  • RES 1: 1.3792 High Jun 11
  • PRICE: 1.3759 @ 15:52 BST Jun 14
  • SUP 1: 1.3667/1.3590 50-day EMA / Low May 16 and the bear trigger 
  • SUP 2: 1.3547 Low Apr 9
  • SUP 3: 1.3512 50.0% retracement of the Dec 27 - Apr 16 bull cycle
  • SUP 4: 1.3478 Low Apr 4 

USDCAD has managed to recover from Wednesday’s intraday low of 1.3680. Key support is unchanged at 1.3590, the May 16 low. A clear break of this level would threaten a bullish theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. For now, the trend outlook remains bullish, a continuation higher would signal scope for a climb towards key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.3846, the Apr 16 high.
