USD/CAD Analysis
The pair continued to fall yesterday in line with the continued retreat of the USD and the CAD has become one of the strongest currencies.
The support at 1.2050 gave a bounce up but it was short-lived and that level has now been flipped to likely resistance.
Although the whole number at 1.2000 may be psychologically important, there is no clear support below 1.1804 and therefore a USD-negative FOMC statement this evening just might cause a fall all the way down to that level, which could be a great opportunity for a good long trade.
There are several likely resistance levels above at which to get short after a pull back.
There are high-impact events scheduled today concerning the USD. There will be a release of Advance GDP data at 1:30pm London time, followed later at 7pm by the very important FOMC Statement and Federal Funds Rate announcement.
