Looking at the daily chart we notice USD/CAD rebounded on Thursday from 1.3037 then rallied on the following days testing 1.3126 twice. Therefore, a close above this level may cause a rally towards 1.3166, however; the weekly resistance at 1.3145 needs to be monitored.

Further bullishness might require a close above 1.3166, this could mean the buyers may push the price towards 1.3224, although; the weekly resistance levels underlined on the chart (zoomed in) should be watched along the way.

In turn, a close below 1.3064 may send the price towards 1.3008, however; the weekly support highlighted on the chart would be worth monitoring. Further bearishness could come from a close below 1.3008 and may press USD/CAD towards 1.2920, nonetheless; the weekly support levels highlighted on the chart need to be kept in focus.
