USDCAD continues to trade below last week’s high of 1.3977 (Oct 13) and has briefly shown below the 20-day EMA support at 1.3660. The uptrend remains intact and the latest pullback is considered corrective. The recovery from 1.3503, Oct 10 high, reinforces bullish conditions and this low represents a key support. Moving average studies still highlight an uptrend and 1.3838, Sep 30 high and key resistance has been cleared, strengthening bullish conditions. Should markets close below the 20-day EMA, a deeper correction toward Oct 4 low at 1.3503 is on the cards.
