USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3303; (P) 1.3334; (R1) 1.3368; More

USD/CAD’s break of 1.3289 suggests resumption of fall from 1.3467. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 1.3068/3112 support zone. Decisive there will indicate larger reversal and turn outlook bearish. On the upside, though, break of 1.3371 minor resistance will turn intraday back to the upside for 1.3467 resistance.

In the bigger picture, structure of the medium term rise from 1.2061 (2017 low) to 1.3664 is not clearly impulsive. 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 1.3157) holds. Sustained break of 1.3793 will pave the way to retest 1.4689 (2015 high). Firm break of the channel support should confirm reversal target 1.2061 low again.
