  • SUP 4: 1.3478 Low Apr 4

USDCAD has recovered from its recent lows. A bullish trend condition remains intact. Recently, key supports at 1.3638, the 50-day EMA, and 1.3610, the May 3 low, have been pierced. A clear break of both levels would threaten the bullish theme and instead signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, a stronger resumption of gains would refocus attention on the bull trigger at 1.3846, the Apr 16 high.
