USD/CAD Analysis
The Forex market in general is very quiet now and this pair is no exception. The market is waiting for significant USD news tomorrow after the London close from the FOMC. In spite of the lull, we are close to a crucial zone that has consistently acted as good support or resistance for the last two weeks or thereabouts, and that is the area between 1.2350 and 1.2367. We are not too far from this area so there may be a short opportunity again at this level later today. It is worth being cautious as the zone might be overly “used” by now, and a strong break up past the zone could be taken as a long breakout trade, if it occurs. This is unlikely to happen before the FOMC release after London close tomorrow.
There are no high-impact events scheduled today for the CAD. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Building Permits data at 1:30pm London time.
