USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0001; (P) 1.0049; (R1) 1.0078; More.
USD/CAD's strong rebound in early US session suggests that a temporary low is in place at 0.9990 and intraday bias is turned neutral. Some consolidations could be seen but note that another fall is still expected as long as 1.0263 resistance holds. Below 0.9990 will target 61.8% retracement of 0.9406 to 1.0656 at 0.9884. However, break of 1.0263 will indicate that pull back from 1.0656 is finished and will bring stronger rebound to retest this resistance.
