USD/CAD Analysis
This pair saw a double bottom for a little way above the key support level at 1.3019, from which the pair rose with conviction as the USD strengthened yesterday. The first two resistance levels were bumps in the road but are plainly visible as accurate in the chart below and are both now marked as support.
The third resistance level, which was hit during the Asian session, has more or less held and the price now looks to be moving down from there. A bullish reversal and break above that could see a longer and more powerful bullish move as there are no key resistance levels for a long way above.
There is no long-term trend and the action is fairly choppy and hard to predict.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning either the CAD or the USD.
