USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Testing 1.2960 – Still room to the downside

  • USD/CAD is in a deep pullback in the main bull trend.  
  • USD/CAD has tested and rejected 1.2959 (August 7 swing low) resistance and is currently trading below a downward sloping 200-period simple moving average suggesting a bearish bias. Targets to the downside are located at 1.2900 figure and 1.2857 (June 6 low).  
  • A bull breakout above 1.3100 would invalidate the bearish bias.
