USDCAD is softer this morning. The pair stalled on Nov 13 at 1.3173 and this level has been defined as a key S/T resistance. Recent gains have likely been a correction. The Nov 13 candle formation, a doji, highlights a bearish theme. The pattern signals the end of the recent correction and if correct, suggests the downtrend is likely to resume once again. An extension lower would refocus attention on 1.2929, Nov 9 low and the bear trigger.
