Talking Points:
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.1311, 1.1255, 1.1215
- Resistance: 1.1435, 1.1531, 1.1608
The US Dollar found interim support above the 1.13 figure against its Canadian counterpart after being rejected from five-year highs. A daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 1.1311 exposes a rising trend line at 1.1255. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% Fib expansion at 1.1435 opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% threshold at 1.1531.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering short with prices in close proximity to support. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests taking up the long side is premature. We will remain flat for now, waiting for a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
