USDCAD Pulls Back From Apparent Resistance Around 1.36, Still Overbought Pre-Powell

CANADA
  • USDCAD has pulled back from a period earlier around 1.36, where there appears to be some resistance after topping out at 1.3604 on Aug 23.
  • A more concerted push higher could open a key resistance at 1.3655 (May 26 high), but doing so would see the pair further in overbought territory on a 14-day RSI basis having already been there for an unusually long time by recent standards.
  • There’s some reasonable cumulative option expiry at the NY cut today with $522mln at 1.3580 and $167mln at 1.3585 plus $405mln at 1.3500.
  • Powell is clearly in focus, followed by further Fedspeak, with only advance wholesale sales on the local docket today.
