  • PRICE: 1.3358 @ 16:19 BST Jun 8
  • SUP 1: 1.3322 Low Jun 07
  • SUP 2: 1.3315 Low May 8
  • SUP 3: 1.3302 Low Apr 14 and a key near-term support

USDCAD traded lower Thursday following the unexpected BoC rate hike, but remained above strong support layered between the April/May lows and has - for now - stalled any significant downside breakout. A resumption of weakness would expose 1.3315 and 1.3302, the May 8 and Apr 14 lows and a key support zone. On the upside, initial firm resistance is at 1.3492, the 20-day EMA. A break of this level would ease bearish pressure.
