USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Consolidates in a range just below 1.3200 handle

   “¢   The pair extended its consolidative price action through the mid-European session on Monday and is currently placed at the top end of its narrow trading range.  

   “¢   Bulls have managed to defend 100-hour SMA and technical indicators on hourly charts maintained their positive bias, supporting prospects for further intraday up-move.  

   “¢   A convincing break through the 1.3200 handle would further reinforce the constructive outlook and pave the way for an extension of the pair’s near-term positive momentum.

   “¢   However, a sustained weakness below mid-1.3100s would negate any positive bias and prompt some aggressive long-unwinding trade, dragging the pair back towards 50-day SMA support.
