Intraday bias in USD/CAD remains neutral at this point. As long as medium term channel support holds (now at 1.2986), we’d expect further rise ahead in the pair. On the upside, above 1.3173 will indicate completion of correction from 1.3385. In such case, intraday bias will be turned back tot he upside for 1.3289 resistance first. However, sustained trading below the channel, and break of 1.2961 support, will carry larger bearish implication and turn outlook bearish.
In the bigger picture, as long as channel support (now at 1.2986) holds, we’re holding to the bullish view. That is, fall from 1.4689 (2015 high) has completed at 1.2061, ahead of 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048. Further rally should be seen for 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3685 and above. However, sustained break of the channel support will argue that rise from 1.2061 has completed. Further decline should be seen to 38.2% retracement of 1.2061 to 1.3385 at 1.2879 first. Sustained break will pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 1.2567 and below.
