USDCAD TECHS: Approaching The Bull Trigger

Sep-24 14:30
  • RES 4: 1.4019 38.2% retracement of the Feb 3 - Jun 16 bear leg 
  • RES 3: 1.3968 High May 20 
  • RES 2: 1.3925 High Aug 22 and the bull trigger
  • RES 1: 1.3897 Intraday high 
  • PRICE: 1.3892 @ 15:30 BST Sep 24
  • SUP 1: 1.3790/3727 50-day EMA / Low Aug 29 and a bear trigger  
  • SUP 2: 1.3709 61.8% retracement of the Jul 23 - Aug 22 bull cycle
  • SUP 3: 1.3658 76.4% retracement of the Jul 23 - Aug 22 bull cycle 
  • SUP 4: 1.3637 Low Jul 25  

Today’s rally in USDCAD undermines a recent bearish theme as the pair extends the recovery from the Sep 17 low. The pair has pierced resistance at 1.3890, the Sep 11 high. This exposes key resistance at 1.3925, the Aug 22 high and the bull trigger. Clearance of this hurdle would highlight an important short-term bullish break. Initial support to watch lies at 1.3790, the 50-day EMA.
