USD/CAD Weekly Outlook

USD/CAD edged lower to 1.3239 last week but rebounded strongly from there. The development dampen original view of bearish trend reversal. Initial bias is back on the upside this week for rebound towards 1.3564 resistance first. Break will target 1.3664 high. On the downside, below 1.3239 will target 1.3052/68 cluster support.

In the bigger picture, outlook is turned mixed after USD/CAD drew strong support from 55 week EMA (now at 1.3232) and rebounded. Nevertheless, sustained break of 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2016 high) to 1.2061 at 1.3685, is needed to confirm resumption of up trend from 1.2061 (2017 low), towards 1.4689. Otherwise, medium term outlook will stay neutral first. Break of 1.3239 will revive the case of medium term topping at 1.3664. And, decisive break of 1.3068 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 1.2061 to 1.3664 at 1.3052) will confirm and pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 1.2673 next.

In the longer term picture, outlook remains unchanged that price actions from 1.4689 (2016 high) are forming a corrective pattern. Rejection by 1.3793 resistance would raise the chance of lengthier extension, with risk of dropping through 1.2061 low before completion.
