USDCAD TECHS: Pierced Support

Mar-27 08:01
  • RES 4: 1.4700 Round number resistance
  • RES 3: 1.4641 76.4% retracement of the Feb 3 - 14 bear leg
  • RES 2: 1.4452/4543 High Mar 13 / 4 and a bull trigger
  • RES 1: 1.4402 High Mar 20 
  • PRICE: 1.4293 @ 08:01 GMT Mar 27
  • SUP 1: 1.4235 Low Mar 26 and a key near-term support   
  • SUP 2: 1.4151/4107 Low Feb 14 / 50.0% of Sep 25 - Feb 3 bull run
  • SUP 3: 1.4011 Low Dec 5 ‘24
  • SUP 4: 1.3944 61.8% retracement of the Sep 25 ‘24 - Feb 3 bull cycle

USDCAD traded through support at 1.4242 yesterday, the Mar 6 low, before recovering. Clearance of this level would undermine the bull theme and instead highlight potential for a test of 1.4151, the Feb 14 low and a bear trigger. Moving average studies continue to highlight a dominant uptrend. A reversal higher would refocus attention on the bull trigger at 1.4543, the Mar 4 high. First resistance is 1.4402, the Mar 20 high.

A bullish condition in AUDUSD remains intact and recent gains reinforce the current bullish set-up. Sights are on key resistance at 0.6406/14 - the 100-dma and the 38.2% retracement of the Sep 30 ‘24 - Feb 3 bear leg respectively. A clear break of both levels would set the scene for the next leg higher for the pair, making 0.6429 the next target, the Dec 12 ‘24 high. The 50-day EMA undercuts as support, crossing at 0.6315.
