USDCAD failed to hold on to last Friday’s high of 1.3668. The strong reversal exposes support at 1.3538, the 20-day EMA - it has been pierced. This EMA represents an important short-term level where a break would highlight a stronger bearish threat, signalling scope for a deeper pullback towards 1.3473, the Apr 21 low. On the upside, a recovery and break of 1.3668 is required to cancel a bearish threat and reinstate the recent bull cycle.
