USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Downward Momentum Resumes

 | Apr 24, 2015 08:13AM ET

Talking Points:

  • USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 1.2131, 1.2021, 1.1933
  • Resistance: 1.2198, 1.2307, 1.2397

The expected . Near-term support is at 1.2131, the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 1.2021. Alternatively, a rebound above the 14.6% Fib at 1.2198 opens the door for a challenge of the April 21 high at 1.2307.

Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
