  • SUP 4: 1.2546 Low 61.8% retracement of the Oct - Dec rally

Despite pulling back from Thursday’s high, the USDCAD short-term outlook remains bullish and price remains above last week’s low of 1.2621 on Dec 31 - a key short-term support. Monday’s rally is a bullish engulfing candle. The pattern highlights a base at 1.2621 and scope for a climb towards 1.2848, Dec 27 high and a key near-term resistance. On the downside, sub 1.2621 levels would cancel the reversal pattern and instead open 1.2608, Dec 8 low.
