USDCAD bears remain in control and short-term gains are considered corrective. Last week’s break of a key support at 1.2621, the Dec 31 low strengthened a bearish case and has opened 1.2448, 76.4% of the Oct - Dec rally. A move through this chart point would signal scope for an extension lower and open 1.2387, the Nov 10 low. Initial resistance is at 1.2621. A firmer short-term resistance is at 1.2675, the 20-day EMA.
