USDCAD TECHS: Approaching A Key Near-Term Support

Mar-18 21:00
  • RES 4: 1.4793 High Feb 3 and key resistance
  • RES 3: 1.4700 Round number resistance 
  • RES 2: 1.4641 76.4% retracement of the Feb 3 - 14 bear leg 
  • RES 1: 1.4452/4543 High Mar 13 / 4 and a bull trigger  
  • PRICE: 1.4308 @ 16:42 GMT Mar 18
  • SUP 1: 1.4242 Low Mar 6 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

The bull cycle in USDCAD that started Feb 14 remains intact, and moving average studies reinforce this condition - they remain in a bull-mode position.  However, the latest pullback has exposed a near-term key support at 1.4242, the Mar 6 low. A clear break of this level would undermine a bullish theme and instead highlight potential for a test of 1.4151, the Feb 14 low and a bear trigger. Key resistance and the bull trigger, is at 1.4543, the Mar 4 high.
