USD/CAD Technical Outlook: Neutral

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) has recently remained under pressure as a culmination of fear and rising geopolitical pressures continue to weigh on sentiment.

Preceding the release of high impact economic data, USD/CAD has managed to find provisional support above the key psychological level of 1.2700 which continues to hold firm as resistance for the imminent move.

With rising commodity prices supporting CAD strength, key Fibonacci levels continue to provide both support and resistance for the imminent move with price action hovering above the 23.6% Fibonacci level of the 2020 – 2021 move at around 1.2639. As this level continues to provide a solid foundation of support, CAD bulls will need to drive prices above the 1.3000 threshold with the next level of resistance holding firm at around 1.3400.
