  • SUP 4: 1.2528 Low Apr 17, 2018

USDCAD found support last week at 1.2610, Feb 16 low, but this gave way into the Friday close. The recent move lower is seen as a deeper corrective pullback however price has cleared 1.2686, Jan 27 low and a key S/T level. This is a bearish development and exposes the Jan 21 low of 1.2590 that also marks a bear trigger. Clearance of this level would resume the underlying downtrend. A 1.2881 break, Jan 28 high is required to reinstate bullish activity. 1.2763 is a firm resistance.
