Dollar/CAD and also EUR/USD experienced interesting technical moves in the past week. What does the road ahead have for them?
The team at Bank of America Merrill Lynch provides some insight:
Here is their view, courtesy of eFXnews:
USD/CAD is testing pivotal long-term support at the 1.1909/1.1915 area, notes Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
“While this is a very late stage decline, this support zone is unlikely to hold for long, given the weakened state of the USD,” BofA argues.
“Indeed, a break below 1.1909 clears the way for a test of the 200d at 1.1764 before renewed base,” BofA projects.
Turning to EUR/USD, BofA thinks that it’s time to get back to the drawing board with fresh thoughts after exiting its short EUR/USD on the overnight push above 1.1392.
“This break points to a larger upward correction than anticipated and further gains for a test of 1.1534/1.1538 resistance (Feb-03 high and 10m trendline),” BofA argues.
“While this may be a near-term sticking point, absent a break below 1.1156 (old channel resistance, now support), stay bullish for a push towards 1.1675/1.1811, potentially the 200d at 1.1961 before renewed signs of stalling,” BofA advises.
“Back below 1.1156 says the correction is over,” BofA adds.
