Talking Points:
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.2503, 1.2397, 1.2292
- Resistance: 1.2559, 1.2649, 1.2722
The US Dollar resumed its advance against its Canadian counterpart, rising to the highest level in seven weeks. Near-term resistance is at 1.2559, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 1.2649. Alternatively, a reversal below the 14.6% Fib at 1.2503 clears the way for a test of a horizontal pivot at 1.2397.
Prices are wedged too closely between near-term support and resistance levels to justify taking a trade on a long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will continue to stand aside until a more attractive opportunity presents itself.
