Any resumption of weakness would signal scope for a move towards 95.235, a Fibonacci retracement point on the continuation chart. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 96.110 on the continuation chart. A firm break would highlight a possible reversal and signal scope for further gains.

- SUP 3: 1.3512 50.0% retracement of the Dec 27 - Apr 16 bull cycle
- SUP 4: 1.3478 Low Apr 4
USDCAD has traded lower this week and has pierced the Jun 12 low of 1.3680, and 1.3676, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of these supports would signal scope for a continuation lower near-term, towards key support at 1.3590, the May 16 low. A clear break of this level would threaten a bullish theme. The trend outlook remains bullish, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on the medium-term resistance at 1.3846, the Apr 16 high.
