USD/CAD rebounded off the lower parallel of the March downtrend with a breakout of the weekly opening-range extending into pivotal resistance.
Support now rests with the low-day close (LDC) / 61.8% retracement of the December 2023 advance / monthly open at 1.3778/98- a break / close below this threshold would be needed to mark downtrend resumption towards the 78.6% retracement of the September advance at 1.3714 and the March high at 1.3614.
A topside breach above this pivot zone at the median-line exposes key resistance at 1.3977-1.4010- a region defined by the 2022 high, the 2020 March weekly reversal close and the 200-day moving average. A close above this region would be needed to suggest a more significant low was registered this week / a larger reversal is underway with subsequent objectives eyed at the 1.41-handle and 1.4149/78- look for a larger reaction there IF reached.
Bottom line: A rebound off downtrend support takes USD/CAD into the topside of a multi-week range – risk of a larger recovery while above the weekly open. From a trading standpoint, losses should be limited to 1.3778 IF price is heading higher on this stretch – look for a larger reaction on test of the 200-day moving average.
