USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Free fall below 1.3200 as Canadian Retail Sales beat estimates

  • USD/CAD fell almost 140 pips from its daily high as the Canadian Retail Sales in May rose to 2% versus 1.1% expected.  
  • USD/CAD is now back below 1.3155 support level. However, given the current strong momentum, the market might need to test 1.3120 or beyond to find some decent support.  
  • USD/CAD is now trading below all its main moving averages suggesting a slowdown of the bull trend.
