USDCAD faded further Thursday, taking out support at the 1.2500 handle, but steering clear of key levels down at the 1.2421 50-day EMA. This reverses the positivity evident in the rise up toward last week's highs at 1.2605, which markets need to top to initiate any further rally. A rise through here opens initial resistance at 1.2607, Jul 23 high. A break of this level would signal the resumption of bullish activity. To the downside, attention is on the 50-day EMA that intersects at 1.2421. A clear breach of the average is needed to strengthen the current downward cycle.
