  • USD/CAD drops towards a familiar support zone.
  • A week-long resistance line restricts immediate upside.
  • Bearish MACD keeps sellers hopeful.

Together with the fall below important confluence, bearish signals of 12-bar Moving Average Convergence and Divergence (MACD) also signal the return of 1.3160/55 area comprising multiple lows market since early November.

If prices slip beneath 1.3160, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement around 1.3120 and 1.3080 can entertain the Bears.

On the contrary, 1.3210/15 resistance confluence, including 50-DMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement, followed by a short-term falling trend line near 1.3230, can keep the quote’s U-turn in check.

Also, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.3255 holds the key to pair’s rise towards November month high near 1.3330.
