USDCAD finished the week on a distinctly bearish note, with solid Canadian jobs data prompting a broad wave of CAD strength. This put prices below the week’s 1.3470 low and within range of key support at the 1.3385 level - the Dec 5 low. Further weakness will be needed, however, before the bullish trend condition fades and the bear trigger at 1.3226 can be considered. Last month's break of trendline resistance, drawn from the Oct 13 high, strengthened the bullish case and this has opened 1.3751, the Nov 4 high.
