Intraday bias in USD/CAD remains mildly on the upside for the moment. Sustained break of near term channel resistance (now at 1.3096) will be the first sign of bullish reversal and bring stronger rise to 1.3173 resistance for confirmation. That will also carry larger bullish implication. Meanwhile, below 1.2997 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 1.2879 fibonacci level.
In the bigger picture, focus is now on 38.2% retracement of 1.2061 to 1.3385 at 1.2879. Decisive break there will affirm the case of medium term reversal and target 61.8% retracement at 1.2567 and below. That will also put key long term support at 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048 into focus. On the upside, break of 1.3173 resistance will revive the bullish case and target 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3685 and above.
