EURCAD

This pair is currently consolidating around 1.60000 and using the 50-period MA on the 1-hour chart. Resistance comes in at 1.60463, with the 1.61202 area as the high from recent market price action. The price is holding above 1.59586 and trend line support, with the 100-hour MA at 1.59535. A drop below this area would create another lower low and target support at 1.59019, followed by the 200 DMA at 1.58530 and 1.58331. Below this area, there is a gap in support until 1.57609. The 1.57000 level can be targeted in extension, with the 1.56723 close below.

Should the current price action form a Head and Shoulders pattern, traders would aim for a target around 1.58000, on the condition of a break below the 1.59500 area once the right shoulder is formed.
