Featured Technical Report

USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9771; (P) 0.9808; (R1) 0.9843; More.

USD/CAD's break of 0.9872 minor resistance suggests that consolidation from 1.0009 might be finished at 0.9774 already. Intraday bias is cautiously on the upside for a retest on 1.0009 first. Break will confirm resumption of rise from 0.9406.. Also, note that sustained trading above 0.9912 resistance will confirm double bottom reversal pattern (0.9444, 0.94056) and target 61.8% retracement of 1.0851 to 0.9406 at 1.0299. On the downside, even in case of another fall, we'll stay bullish as long as 0.9741 support holds.
