Intraday bias in USD/CAD is turned back to the upside with break of 1.2729. Further rise would be seen back to 1.2891 resistance first. On the downside, break of 1.2592 support will extend the fall from 1.2891, as the third leg of the pattern from 1.2947, to 1.2492 and possibly below. Overall, with 1.2421 support intact, rise from 1.2005 should still be in progress for another rally through 1.2947 at a later stage.
In the bigger picture, fall from 1.4667 is seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 1.4689 (2016 high). It should have completed after hitting 1.2061 (2017 low) and 50% retracement of 0.9406 to 1.4689 at 1.2048. Sustained break of 38.2% retracement of 1.4667 to 1.2005 at 1.3022 will pave the way to 61.8% retracement at 1.3650 and above. Overall, medium term outlook remains neutral at worst with 1.2048/61 support zone intact.
