USDCAD has traded lower today again, extending the pullback that started on Sep 30. The move lower follows the clear break earlier this week of trendline support drawn off the Sep 1 low. This suggests scope for weakness towards 1.3157 next, a Fibonacci retracement. A breach of 1.3157 would open 1.3128, Sep 16 low. To offset a deeper decline, the pair needs to trade above resistance at 1.3341, Oct 7 high. Heavy!
