Talking Points:
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.1922, 1.1801, 1.1747
- Resistance: 1.1997, 1.2117, 1.2215
The US Dollar continues to consolidate in a narrow range below the 1.20 against its Canadian counterpart. Near-term resistance is at 1.1997, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 1.2117. Alternatively, a turn back below the 14.6% Fib at 1.1922 clears the way for a test of the January 15 low at 1.1801. Negative RSI divergence warns a pullback may be in the cards.
An actionable trade setup is absent at this point, arguing against committing to a directional bias on long or short side. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a clear-cut trading opportunity to present itself in the days ahead.
