USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9686; (P) 0.9738; (R1) 0.9766; More.

USD/CAD dips further to as low as 0.9683 in early US session before recovering mildly. Nevertheless, with 0.9757 minor resistance intact, intraday bias remains on the downside. As noted before, daily MACD has broken recent up trend line, which suggests that USD/CAD is building up downside momentum again. Current fall would now target 161.8% projection of 1.0851 to 1.0138 from 1.0671 at 0.9517 next. On the upside, above 0.9757 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But break of 0.9836 support turned resistance is needed to be the first sign of bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Sell at 0.9390

Dollar's intra-day rebound to 0.9323 suggests near term sideways consolidation above last week's low at 0.9229 would take place and mild upside bias is seen for retracement to 0.9375/80 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9506 to 0.9229) but renewed selling interest should emerge below resistance at 0.9392, bring another decline later. A break of said support at 0.9229 would confirm recent downtrend has resumed and extend weakness to 0.9182
