USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Greenback finding resistance at 1.3000 figure and 200-period simple moving average

  • USD/CAD bull leg is losing steam as it is finding resistance at the 1.3000 figure and the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.  
  • A break below 1.2950 should initially target 1.2900 figure and possibly 1.2800 if the bears have enough fuel.  
  • A bull breakout above 1.3000 would invalidate the bearish bias.
