The trend condition in USDCAD is unchanged and remains bearish. The strong Sep 24 sell-off reinforces this condition. The pair has traded through support at 1.3441, the Aug 28 low. This breach confirms a resumption of the downtrend that started Aug 5 and paves the way for an extension towards 1.3358, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance is seen at 1.3536, the 20-day EMA. Short-term gains are considered corrective.
