USDCAD maintains this week’s bullish theme and the pair is trading higher. Attention is on resistance at 1.2985, the Aug 5 high and the next key short-term hurdle for bulls. Clearance of this level would strengthen bullish conditions. On the downside, key support has been defined at 1.2728, the Aug 11 low where a break would reinstate a bearish threat and also highlight a breach of the 200-dma.
