USD/CAD DAILY PRICE CHART (DEC 12 – Mar 10, 2020) Zoomed In

From the daily chart, we noticed that this week USD/CAD has opened with a gap to the upside and moved to a higher trading zone 1.3593 – 1.3724. The price broke above the high end of the zone then retreated after, as some bulls seemed to cut back.

Therefore, the pair could be on its way for a test of the low end of the zone. A close below that level may lead more bulls to exit the market. As such, USDCAD could fall towards 1.3547. Further close below 1.3511 opens the door for the pair to decline towards 1.3291. Yet, the daily support level and zone/s marked on the chart (zoomed in) should be considered.

On the other hand, any close above the high end of the zone could lead to more bullishness towards 1.3950. That said, the weekly resistance zone marked on the chart should stay in focus, as some traders might exit/join the market around these points.
