USD/CAD has rallied nearly 1.3% off the monthly low with the advance now testing resistance at 1.3729/50- a region defined by the 38.2% retracement of the 2021 rally and the May opening-range lows. Note that pitchfork resistance converges on this threshold over the next few days and further highlights the technical significance of this key zone- looking for a reaction off this mark this week.
USD/CAD is trading within the confines of an embedded channel extending off the monthly low with the weekly opening range taking shape just below confluent resistance at 1.3729/50. Ultimately, a breach / close above the June high / 61.8% retracement of the December 2023 advance at 1.3795/98 is needed to suggest a more significant low was registered last month / a larger trend reversal is underway. Subsequent resistance seen at the 2022 high close / 2023 high at 1.3881/99 and the 2022 high / 2020 March weekly-reversal close at 1.3977/90- both levels of interest for possible topside exhaustion / price inflection IF reached.
Initial support rests with the weekly range lows at 1.3670- a break / close below the monthly channel would threaten resumption of the broader downtrend. Subsequent support objectives unchanged at the yearly low-day close (LDC) / May, June, July lows at 1.3571/90 and the Fibonacci confluence at 1.3504/23.
Bottom line: The USD/CAD is testing confluent resistance at the February downtrend with the weekly opening-range set just below- look for the breakout in the days ahead and watch the weekly close here. From a trading standpoint, losses would need to be limited to the weekly lows IF price is heading for a breakout on this stretch with a close above 1.3795 ultimately needed to put the bulls in control.
