USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Retreats from 200-hour SMA/ascending trend channel confluence hurdle

   “¢   The pair has been steadily climbing alongside a short-term ascending trend-channel formation on the 1-hourly chart since the early North-American session on Friday.

   “¢   The positive momentum stalled near the trend-channel resistance, also coinciding with 200-hour SMA amid a fresh wave of broad-based USD selling pressure.

   “¢   Considering the pair’s recent decline, the ascending channel seems to constitute towards a bearish flag chart pattern formation on the mentioned chart.

   “¢   Moreover, technical indicators on the daily chart are still far from oversold but are yet to recover from the negative territory and add credence to the bearish outlook.  

   “¢   Hence, the ongoing recovery momentum might still be seen as corrective in nature and runs the risk of facing fresh supply on every attempted up-move.
