🔥 NEW: USDCAD...LONG 🔥 SWING 🔥RESISTANCE (major) @ 1.3550
RESISTANCE (minor) @ 1.3466
TP2 @ 1.3550 (closing ALL Buy Orders)
TP1 @ 1.3466 (shaving 50%)
BSO @ 1.3300 ⏳
The USD against the CAD has been trading in a downtrend for the past few months, and it is currently approaching the major resistance level of 1.3550. If the price respects this level, it could signal a reversal in the trend and a continuation of the downtrend retracement that began in mid-October 2022. Also, there is a minor resistance level at 1.3466, which I believe will cause a pullback, so I'm going to shave off some profit and hold my remaining position up to major resistance. Ultimately, the direction of the USDCAD will depend on market sentiment and the outcome of various economic events.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
—If the US Federal Reserve raises interest rates more aggressively than the Bank of Canada, it could put upward pressure on the value of the USDCAD.
—If the US economy continues to grow at a faster pace than the Canadian economy, it could also put upward pressure on the value of the USDCAD.
USDCAD Long US jobs indicator signals early signs of stress, CAD rides positive momentum after BoC hike
Bearish momentum accelerates as CAD continues positive momentum – ‘death cross’ and major support will be tested
nitial jobless claims out of the US flashed another early warning signal regarding the otherwise robust job market. 261 thousand people were newly unemployed as of the week of 3 June and represented the second time in recent prints that the data point exceeded estimates. As a result, the dollar sold-off, seeing an extended move to the downside for USD/CAD
The pair now shows renewed downside momentum and has broken beneath the longer-term channel that has contained the majority of price action. In fact, the move now tests the long-term trendline support that has witnessed multiple tests, none of which were successful.
The ‘death cross’ - circled in orange – provides further indications of a bearish continuation from here. A daily and weekly candle close below the trendline would naturally have bears looking at 1.3230 as the next level of support with the level coinciding with the November 2022 swing low. Breakouts often retrace to retest support/resistance and so a true test of a potential bearish breakdown would be a successful test of the trendline which would effectively become resistance, and subsequent selling thereafter.
Should CAD momentum wane and the US dollar look to claw back lost ground, a hold of trendline support will be key. If the bearish momentum were to falter, 1.3503 would be the next level of interest with an invalidation of the bearish viewpoint around 1.3600 and 1.3650.
The weekly chart reveals the 61.8% and 50% Fibonacci retracements of the major 2020 to 2021 sell-off - roughly the zone that has been housing price action for the last quarter of 2022 and 2023 this far.
Canadian employment data may attract a few more eyes than normal given the uptick in US initial jobless claims yesterday – which caused a notable response in the dollar and highlights FX market’s sensitivity to incoming data.
Next week crucial US inflation data provides another opportunity for core inflation to finally move below the recent 5.5% - 5.7% multi-month range. A softer inflation print could see downward revisions in future rate expectations and may see the USD/CAD head even lower from here.
After the RBA and BoC surprised markets with hikes in June, could the Fed follow suit? In my opinion I think it would be a tough ask, given how vocal prominent members of the Fed have been about voting to forgo a hike next week with the possibility of a hike in July should the data necessitate one. The Fed will also release its quarterly summary of economic projections which ought to provide markets with a better idea of the economic outlook. US PPI will also factor into the inflation conversation but any surprises there will need to be factored into next month’s FOMC meeting.
Granted USD/CAD has been sideways for months, but conditions could be getting ripe for a trend. USD/CAD is testing vital converged support around 1.3220-1.3320, a break below which could clear the way for a drop initially toward the psychological 1.3000, potentially toward the August low of 1.2725.
Moreover, the IG Client Sentiment (IGCS) shows 70% of retail traders are net-long with the ratio of long to short at 2.3 to 1. The number of traders net-long is a whopping 74% higher from last week. RSI above 200.
Trend Bullish.
The Canadian dollar may have just received the boost to extend gains against some of its peers, thanks to the Bank of Canada’s (BOC) hike on Wednesday.
BOC hiked its overnight rate to a 22-year high of 4.75%, saying “concerns have increased that CPI inflation could get stuck materially above the 2% target.” The central bank, however, dropped the April language saying it “remains prepared to raise the policy rate further”, making it more data dependent. Markets are pricing in another rate hike in July, with the terminal rate seen at 5.15% by the end of the year.
USDCAD, H4 | Could we see a bounce?Price is testing a major support level at 1.3319 which is a triple swing low support and also a trend line support. A bounce from here could see prices being nudged up to the 1.3400 level which is an overlap resistance and a 23.6% Fibonacci retracement.

USD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS2023-2024 Exchange Rate Forecasts From MUFG
Growth Concerns hamper Commodity Currencies
MUFG notes important uncertainty over the outlook for Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policy.
On balance it expects that the RBA will not hike rates again.
As far as the currency is concerned, it adds; “We continue to see AUD/USD moving higher but assume underperformance relative to core G10 as growth globally and in Australia remains challenging.”
MUFG notes that the government and Reserve Bank of New Zealand have revised their GDP forecasts and no longer expect a recession, but is doubtful whether the upgrade is justified.
It adds; “These conditions imply the government and the RBNZ’s GDP forecasts could be unrealistic. NZD/USD gains as the dollar weakens could be curtailed as aggressive monetary tightening hits growth.”
MUFG expects that weaker risk conditions will hamper the Canadian dollar with forecasts of USD/CAD declines based on US weakness rather than Canadian currency gains.

USD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISThe Canadian dollar (CAD) is poised for potential gains, especially if the Bank of Canada's impending policy rate decisions, likely influenced by robust economic indicators, result in a surprise rate hike and policy reconvergence.
Bank of Canada's Policy Rate Steady But Rate Hike on Horizon
According to Brian Daingerfield however, Head of G10 FX Strategy at Natwest, the Bank of Canada (BoC) is likely to hold its policy rate steady at 4.50% at their next meeting on June 7th.
"We expect no change in the Bank of Canada (BoC) policy rate at the June 7th meeting. Since pausing at the January meeting, the economic outlook has remained resilient and services CPI has shown signs of reaccelerating," he states. Daingerfield adds that there is a strong case for a rate hike at one of the BoC's next two meetings, most likely in July.
According to their research, the recent economic data indicates the need for additional monetary tightening.
"In our view, the data are now showing evidence that additional tightening is needed. On the labour side, April’s job data showed a market still in excess demand with an unemployment rate of 5.0% (unchanged since December) and hourly wage growth of 5.2% y/y," he says.
Additionally, the analyst points out that first quarter GDP came in quite strong, exceeding both market expectations and BoC's projection.
Canadian CPI data for April revealed higher-than-expected figures, contributing to the case for tightening.
Daingerfield elaborates, "On inflation, Canada CPI came in stronger-than-expected on both the monthly and annual headline figures for April. While the bank’s key measures of core inflation have been relatively stable on short-term aggregates, the services category has sharply accelerated on a 3-month annualized basis."
However, the analyst notes that BoC Governor Macklem seemed to take a more relaxed view of the data, hinting that the Bank may not be ready to abandon its rate pause just yet.
Implications for the Canadian Dollar
The recent strength of the USD has had a significant impact on the Canadian dollar (CAD), which Daingerfield views as a high-beta USD currency, closely tracking US data and the Fed.
"In recent weeks and months, the USD tide has continued to act as a driving force for the Canadian dollar, and as the USD has found its footing the CAD has rallied on crosses in lockstep with the USD," he observes.
However, the analsyt suggests that strong domestic data, particularly April's CPI and first-quarter GDP, introduce risks to this trend.
Return to Tightening Cycle Likely to Boost CAD
Daingerfield believes that a return to the tightening cycle by the BoC could be beneficial for the CAD, especially given its lagging position relative to its G10 peers.
"A rate hike would return the BoC to the tightening pack given that it was the first major central bank to announce a pause to its rate hiking cycle on January 25th," he says.
Daingerfield also speculates that a hawkish statement in June or a surprise rate hike could act as tailwinds supporting the CAD's performance against the USD and other currencies.
USDCAD Weekly Forecast Overnight Rate | 4th June 2023Fundamental Backdrop
Overnight Rate on Wednesday is expected to maintain at 4.50%
Technical Confluences
Resistance level at 1.36374
Support level at 1.33166
Idea
If the Overnight Rate maintains at 4.50% as expected, we could see the price drop towards the support level at 1.33166.
However, if the Overnight Rate increases, we could see the price rise towards the resistance at 1.36374.
