USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3254; (P) 1.3288; (R1) 1.3309; More

USD/CAD dives further to as low as 1.3180 so far. Intraday bias remains on the downside and fall from 1.3664 should target 61.8% retracement of 1.2781 to 1.3664 at 1.3118. We’ll start look for bottoming sign below there. On the upside, above 1.3267 minor resistance will turn bias neutral first. But risk will stay on the downside as long as 4 hour 55 EMA (now at 1.3420) remains intact.

In the bigger picture, the medium term rise from 1.2061 (2017 low) might continue further. But the structure of such rise is not clearly impulsive so far. Hence, we’d stay cautious on strong resistance from 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2016 high) to 1.2061 at 1.3685 and 1.3793 resistance to limit upside, and bring medium term topping. But in any case, medium term outlook will stay bullish as long as channel support (now at 1.2993) holds. Sustained break of 1.3793 will pave the way to retest 1.4689 (2015 high).
