DOLLAR-CANADA: TECHS: Waiting for BoC Decision
After breaking above key resistance levels on soft Canadian data late last week,
USDCAD remains in a holding patterns ahead of today's Bank of Canada rate
decision. Yesterday's failure to break above 1.3122 keeps the down trend channel

1.3016/13 to regain control, bringing the 200-dma at 1.2908 into focus. Below
here opens the 50% fibo of 2018 range at 1.2819, ahead of the Oct 1 low at
1.2789.
