  • USD/CAD is having a deep pullback in the main bull trend.  
  • On the 15-minute chart, USD/CAD broke below the bear channel (blue) and found support at the bear trendline of August 24 (black dotted line). The market is trading below falling and widening simple moving averages suggesting strong bear momentum. It remains to be seen if the bears can break below 1.2900 figure on the first attempt or if the market will have a small rebound first.  
  • However, since 1.2959 (August 7 swing low) has been beached more downside is expected in the near future with 1.2857 (June 6 low) as next target.
