USDCAD has recovered from its recent lows and maintains a firmer tone. Tuesday’s price action, in Japanese candlestick terms, is a long-legged doji. This is a short-term reversal signal and suggests potential for a continued correction near-term. The move higher Thursday narrows the gap with the 50-day EMA that intersects at 1.2631 - a key resistance. The broader trend remains down, key support and the bear trigger lies at 1.2403, Tuesday’s low.
