USDCAD moving average studies are in a bear mode and recent weakness confirmed an extension of the bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. The pair is approaching a major pivot support at 1.2062, the Sep 2017 low. This level will potentially either reinforce the current medium-term bear leg if breached or lead to a reversal if the support manages to contain CAD strength. Initial resistance is at 1.2194, May 7 high.
