USD/CAD’s rise from 1.3641 continued last week, and the late break of 1.3917 suggests that it’s resuming. Initial bias is back on the upside this week. As in the third leg of the corrective pattern from 1.3538, further rise should be seen to 1.4139 first. Break there will target 100% projection of 1.3538 to 1.4139 from 1.3641 at 1.4242. On the downside, below 1.3883 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral first.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 1.4791 are seen as a corrective pattern to the whole up trend from 1.2005 (2021 low). Deeper fall could be seen as the pattern extends, and break of 1.3538 will target 61.8% retracement of 1.2005 to 1.4791 at 1.3069. For now, medium term outlook will be neutral until there are signs that the correction has completed.
In the long term picture, rising 55 M EMA (now at 1.3576) remains intact. Thus, up trend from 0.9056 (2007 low) should still be in progress. However, considering bearish divergence condition M MACD, sustained trading below 55 M EMA will argue that the up trend has completed with five waves up to 1.4791, and turn medium term outlook bearish for correction to 38.2% retracement of 0.9056 to 1.4791 at 1.2600.
