USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Setting up for a retest of 1.3160 level ahead of FOMC

  • USD/CAD is trading in a bull trend above its 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart ahead of the FOMC this Thursday at 19.00 GMT.  
  • USD/CAD has found some support at the 1.3100 figure and the 100 SMA  as the currency pair has been trading sideways in November. Bulls objective is to reach 1.3161 October 26 high.  
  • It will be interesting to see if bulls can extend the move beyond that point as the October wedge  should cap any meaningful advances.
