USDCAD traded higher Monday, but has faded since. Nonetheless markets remains well above the low that resulted from the sharp sell-off on Dec 31. From a candlestick perspective, Monday’s rally appears to be a bullish engulfing candle. If correct, this signals a potential base at 1.2621, last week’s low. A resumption of strength would open 1.2848, the Dec 27 high and a key near-term resistance. On the downside, a break of 1.2621 would cancel the reversal pattern and instead open 1.2608, the Dec 8 low.]
