USDCAD TECHS: Pullback Considered Corrective

Mar-13 21:00
  • RES 4: 1.3977 High Oct 13 and a key resistance
  • RES 3: 1.3935 2.0% 10-dma envelope
  • RES 2: 1.3898 High Oct 14
  • RES 1: 1.3862 High Mar 10
  • PRICE: 1.3709 @ 16:41 GMT Mar 13

  • SUP 3: 1.3533 50-day EMA
  • SUP 4: 1.3442 Low Feb 20 / 21

USDCAD maintains a firmer tone despite the pullback from Friday’s high of 1.3862. The move down is considered corrective and is allowing an overbought condition to unwind. Last week’s rally strengthened the bullish theme. Price cleared the Dec 16 high of 1.3705 and has also traded above 1.3800. Scope is seen for gains towards the 2.0% 10-dma envelope of 1.3958. Initial support is seen at 1.3678, the Monday low.

USDCAD TECHS: Recent Gains Considered Corrective

Feb-10 21:00
  • RES 4: 1.3751 High Nov 4
  • RES 3: 1.3705 Dec 16 and the bull trigger
  • RES 2: 1.3665 High Jan 6
  • RES 1: 1.3475/3521 High Feb 6 / 19 and key short-term resistance
  • PRICE: 1.3368 @ 17:04 GMT Feb 10
  • SUP 1: 1.3345/3262 Low Feb 10 / 2
  • SUP 2: 1.3226 Low Nov 15 and bear trigger
  • SUP 3: 1.3205 61.8% retracement of the Aug 11 - Oct 13 rally
  • SUP 4: 1.3131 0.764 proj of the Oct 13 - Nov 15 - Dec 16 price swing

USDCAD is consolidating and price remains above its recent low of 1.3262 on Feb 2. A bearish threat remains present and recent short-term gains are most likely a correction. A resumption of weakness and a break of 1.3262, Feb 2 low, would strengthen bearish conditions and open 1.3226, the Nov 15 low and the bear trigger. On the upside, the pair needs to clear 1.3521, the Jan 19 high, to signal a stronger reversal.

AUDUSD is unchanged Friday. The uptrend remains intact, however, the recent move lower highlights a correction that is allowing a recent overbought trend condition to unwind. Price has pierced support at 0.6883, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this EMA would signal scope for a deeper retracement. Key resistance and the bull trigger have been defined at 0.7158, the Feb 2 high. A break would resume the uptrend.
