USDCAD traded lower again mid-week as the bear cycle extends. This week's key technical development has been a test of the major support at 1.2062, Sep 2017 low. This represents an important pivot chart point that either represents the base of a broad range or the midpoint of a double top reversal pattern. A clear break lower would reinforce the current downtrend and open 1.2000 and below. Initial firm resistance is at 1.2194, May 7 high.
