USDCAD Tests Bullish Theme With Tilt Towards Initial Support

CANADA
  • USDCAD has pushed to the day’s low of 1.3426 as the S&P e-mini continues to make intraday gains, but in both cases remaining within Friday’s range.
  • Friday’s low of 1.3415 tied with the Jan 22 low, forming initial support after which lies 1.3343 (Jan 12 low) but the technical outlook continues to see the pullback in the pair as corrective with a bull trigger at 1.3542 (Jan 17 high).
  • Crude oil futures are off overnight highs but still consolidate Friday’s push higher, helping CAD outperform all majors except for Antipodeans.
  • Latest CFTC data showed CAD net shorts were trimmed to -5.4% OI as of Jan 23, moving back close to the -4.3% on Jan 09 which marked the smallest net short position since early August.
