USDCAD is trading closer to recent lows and a bearish threat remains intact. Support at 1.2502, Apr 5 low gave way last week. A resumption of the current bear leg would suggest scope for a deeper pullback and open 1.2365, Mar 18 low and the bear trigger. For bulls, a recovery would once again refocus attention on the key resistance and bull trigger at 1.2647, Mar 30 high. A break would reinstate a bullish theme.
