USDCAD traded weaker into year end, taking out first support at 1.2734 to narrow the gap with the 50-dma. The price action across the second half of December works against the multi-month uptrend in the pair, with 1.2608 now seen as key support. A fall through here opens 1.2626 and 1.2546 as the next downside targets ahead of the 1.2288 print last seen in October.
