Key Quotes
“USD/CAD continues to come off its June peak at 1.3386 and is sliding towards the breached 2016-18 downtrend line and the 2018 support line at 1.2922/17. There the currency pair may well stabilize before another up leg is made”.
“Longer term we still believe that USD/CAD is aiming for the 1.3532/97 November and December 2016 as well as the March 2017 highs. Further up sits the May 2017 peak at 1.3791″.
“Over the next few days further sideways trading with a slightly bearish bias remains to be seen, however”.
“Were support at 1.2922/17 to give way on a daily chart closing basis, the 50% retracement and 200 day moving average at 1.2820/18 could be reached”.
