USDCAD traded lower last week and breached support at 1.2767, the Aug 1 low. This price action partially reversed into the Monday close, keeping the pair clear of a meaningful break of the 200-dma support. The average has been pierced, a clear break would strengthen bearish conditions and open 1.2685, a Fibonacci retracement. On the upside, a breach of 1.2985, the Aug 5 high is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
