USD/CAD extends upside, breaching into resistance

  • USD/CAD is meeting a critical resistance in a phase of accumulation.  
  • Bears are monitoring for a retest of old resistance to the downside.  

As per the following chart, the price of USD/CAD is in a phase of accumulation and would be expected to move higher in the coming days on a breakout.  

That being said, there is plenty of scope for a further test of the downside and this will bring in the prior highs as support into focus.

If there is a break to the downside, then the hourly chart offers a vantage point from which to monitor for bearish structure:
