USDCAD sits toward the bottom end of the recent range, but is holding above support at 1.2636, Feb 10 low. While this level holds, a positive outlook remains intact following the recent recovery from 1.2451, Jan 19 low that resulted in a move above the 50-day EMA and a climb through 1.2768, 61.8% of the Dec 20 - Jan 19 sell-off. The focus is on 1.2843, the 76.4% value. On the downside, a sub 1.2636 levels would threaten the bullish theme.
