USD/CAD’s strong rebound and break of 1.2622 minor resistance indicates short term bottoming at 1.2526. Intraday bias is mildly on the upside for recovery back to 38.2% retracement of 1.2942 to 1.2526 at 1.2685, or even further to 55 day EMA (now at 1.2730). But upside should be limited well below 1.2814 support turned resistance and bring fall resumption. We’d expect decline from 1.3124 to extend later to 1.2061/2246 support zone.
In the bigger picture, current development turns favors to the case that rise from 1.2061 is a corrective three wave pattern. It could have completed at 1.3124 after hitting 38.2% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3065. Focus is now back on 1.2061 and 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048. Decisive break there will resume larger down trend from 1.4689 (2016 high) to 61.8% retracement of 0.9406 to 1.4689 at 1.1424.
