USD/CAD Analysis

This pair rose very strongly yesterday with real momentum, before falling quite sharply at about 1.3050, not far from the anticipated resistance at 1.3064.

It is hard to say what is going to happen with this pair, I think overall it is going to be choppy but with wide swings. The good news is that in this condition, trading at the identified support and resistance levels – or at turns quite close to them – is probably going to be a profitable trading tactic.

USDCAD

There are no high-impact releases due today concerning the USD. Regarding the USD, there will be releases of the Bank of Canada’s Monetary Policy Report, Rate Statement, and Overnight Rate at 3pm London time, followed about an hour later by the usual press conference.
