USD/CAD Fundamental + Technical Macroeconomic Update | 3.14.23Weaker dollar due to uncertainties about Federal Reserve policy and US banking sector
On Wednesday, the dollar index was trading around 103.5, which is near its lowest levels in a month. This happened because investors are unsure about the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy. They are also worried about recent turmoil in the US banking sector and the latest US inflation report. Some investors speculate that the Fed might pause its tightening campaign to avoid further risks to the financial system. Additionally, the annual inflation rate in the US slowed further to 6% in February, the lowest since September 2021. Money markets are now pricing an 80% chance of a 25 basis point rate hike from the Fed next week, lower than the half-percentage point increase expected a week ago.
Canadian dollar under selling pressure due to the Bank of Canada's decision
Investors are reacting to the end of the tightening cycle from the Bank of Canada, and the Canadian dollar is under selling pressure against the dollar. The Bank of Canada held the target for its overnight rate unchanged at 4.5% in March, as expected, and stated that they should keep it at the current level should economic conditions develop broadly in line with expectations. This is in contrast with the hawkish Federal Reserve, which sparked demand for the dollar. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress that the central bank would likely need to raise rates more than expected in response to recent robust inflation and employment data.
Oil prices rebound as OPEC raises forecast for Chinese oil demand growth
Brent crude futures rose above $78 per barrel on Wednesday, rebounding from three-month lows as OPEC raised its forecast for Chinese oil demand growth in 2023. This is due to the country’s exit from the zero-Covid policy. However, the oil-producing group left its outlook for global demand unchanged, citing potential downside risks for global growth. On the supply side, Saudi Arabia energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said OPEC+ will stick to production cuts agreed in October until the end of the year. The international oil benchmark remains down more than 5% this week due to the turmoil in the US banking sector and the prospect of another interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next week. Investors now look ahead to IEA’s monthly report and official data on US crude inventories on Wednesday.
Investors reassess outlook for monetary policy and growth, driving down yields on Canadian government bonds
The yield on Canada's 10-year government bond eased to below 3%, a level not seen in a month, and is tracking its US peer lower as investors reassess the outlook for monetary policy and growth. Lingering concerns about a Fed-induced recession and the health of the US banking sector sparked demand for safe-haven assets, mainly government debt. Domestically, the Bank of Canada paused its rate-hike cycle at 4.5%, as previously signaled, after 425bps in rate increases during the last eight sessions. Policymakers noted that GDP growth was below expectations in the fourth quarter of 2022, emphasizing the need to support growth.
USDCADNow we are in a downward dynamic channel where the price has shown weakness near the middle line of the channel.
I predict that probably this weakness has the ability to reduce the price until near the bottom of the channel.
Oscillators also confirm this weakness, and this means reducing the market's tendency to increase the price.
USDCAD, an opportinity to go long.USDCAD / 4H
Hello traders, welcome back to another market breakdown.
Technical analysis: The USDCAD currency pair has been experiencing a bullish trend , with the price consistently breaking higher. Furthermore, on the monthly time frame, the price has rejected a major key level.
However, Today we have CPI data, we I'll be carefull with any setup based on Technical analysis.
The scenario I'm looking at:
Broken resistance becomes support.
USDCAD | POTENTIAL PULLBACK TRADE NOT GREAT BUT GOODHey Traders!
hey everyone its a pullback trade, much riskier than usual due to market current conditions, lower risk or skip this trade entirely, however, this trade does have a W formation on the weekly suggesting there might be a last pullback down off the resistance, we have space of around 40-50 pips until we reach the lower timeframe support, the markets are heavily overextended and there are no great setups to take, I like this one, but it's a good one, not a great one. ✅👍
USDCAD seems to resist the weekly trendHey Traders, USDCAD have attended an important weekly zone and now seems to be rejecting it. in tomorrow's trading session i will be watching a selling opportunity around 1.385 supply and demand zone at the trend, if CPI data on Tuesday comes above expectations i would expect a trend breakout as that signals more hawkish monetary policy and more of Dollar strength over commodities, if CPI comes soft i would set 1.34 as a target as it's considered the next major support zone USDCAD will be facing.
Trade safe, Joe.

USDCAD Outlook 9th March 2023Overnight, the Bank of Canada (BoC) released its decision to hold interest rates at the 4.50% level. This was in line with the overall market forecast.
However, the decision to hold rates saw the Canadian Dollar weaken (while the DXY remained on its bullish uptrend), resulting in the USDCAD claiming new highs, testing the 1.38 resistance area.
If the DXY gains further strength and breaks out to the upside, the USDCAD could first retrace briefly to test the upward trendline, before continuing to climb higher, with the next key resistance level at 1.39.
Alternatively, if the price action develops to signal a rejection of the 1.38 resistance level, the price could retrace down to the intermediate support level of 1.3740.
USDCAD H4 | 8th March Looking at the H4 chart, the price is respecting the ascending trendline. We are looking for a buy entry at 1.3805, which is a swing high. The stop loss level will be at 1.3855, and the take profit level will be at 1.3699, which is an overlap support level.

USD/CAD: BUY Signals in Uptrend Continuation For a LONG SetupHi there! This week is going to be important for the USD/CAD exchange rate, with several key events in the spotlight. The Bank of Canada Rate Decision, Nonfarm Payrolls, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's testimony are all going to be closely watched.
So far, USD/CAD is up 0.11%, with a low of 1.3581 and a high of 1.3628. The Bank of Canada is expected to hold the overnight rate at 4.50% on Wednesday, and analysts think that the statement will note robust job growth but also acknowledge that inflation is still coming down.
Investors will be paying close attention to Powell's testimony and the jobs report to get a sense of how much the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates. The US Dollar index is down 0.2%, and there's a 76% chance of a 25 basis point increase at the Fed's meeting on March 22. Powell will likely indicate that more tightening is needed, but analysts expect him to be vague about the terminal rate. The Nonfarm Payrolls report is expected to show growth moderating to 220k, but leading indicators suggest that labor market conditions are still tight.
Overall, what Powell says and what the jobs report shows will be crucial for the direction of the US Dollar. The FOMC blackout period will begin on March 11, so the Fed still has the option to guide the markets after the jobs report.
USDCAD H4 | 7th march 2023If the price were to break the descending trendline, our 1st resistance area is 1.3665, and if it were to reverse from this level, it could potentially drop to 1.3519, where the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement which overlaps support is. The next support level after that is 1.3439.
As for the stop loss, it is recommended to place it slightly above the recent swing high at 1.3711. This could help minimize the risk in case the price moves against the expected direction.

USDCAD - Looking For Sell Setup Already!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst.
on WEEKLY: Left Chart
USDCAD stuck inside a range and now sitting around the upper bound / resistance zone so we will be looking for trend-following sell setups on lower timeframes.
on H4: Right Chart
USDCAD formed a symmetrical triangle in blue but it is not ready to go yet.
🏹 Trigger => for the bears to take over, we need a momentum candle close below the last swing low in gray.
Meanwhile, until the sell is activated, USDCAD can still trade higher.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

USDCAD: Top of the range?Looking back over this pair, it's been ranging for a long time.
The candlestick patterns are clearly showing rejection, we now have a doji to back up the change of direction potential.
Fundamentally it seems hat it doesn't matter how good the US news is, the dollar's fate is sealed.
Interesting to see how NFP goes on Friday (but still can't see it getting much past 105.5 even with positive news). I'll probably wait on this pair until after the event has calmed down before getting involved.
Overall I'm bearish on this, waiting for a good entry for at least a 4:1 score initially, but think it'll go further.
