USDCAD TECHS: Resistance At The 50-Day EMA Remains Intact

USDCAD TECHS
  • RES 4: 1.3739 High Aug 15 
  • RES 3: 1.3693 High Aug 19
  • RES 2: 1.3632 50-day EMA  
  • RES 1: 1.3623 High Sep 11 
  • PRICE: 1.3593 @ 16:50 BST Sep 12
  • SUP 1: 1.3547/3441 Low Sep 9 / Aug 28 and the bear trigger 
  • SUP 2: 1.3420 Low Mar 08
  • SUP 3: 1.3358 76.4% retracement of the Dec 27 - Aug 5 bull leg
  • SUP 4: 1.3288 Low Jan 05

Recent strength in USDCAD appears to be corrective. Attention is on resistance at the 50-day EMA, at 1.3632. This level remains intact - for now. A breach of the EMA would signal scope for a stronger bullish cycle. For bears, a stronger reversal lower would refocus attention on 1.3441, the Aug 28 low and the bear trigger. Clearance of this level resumes the downtrend that started Aug 5.
