USDCAD - Continuation Trading Using Structure, Fibs & VolumeWHAT I'M LOOKING AT
After ending the week with a lower low & a lower close below a recent level of structure support, I'm predicting a potential bearish trend continuation opportunity here on the $USDCAD.
MY PREDICTION
If this prediction is correct I would expect a move down to the $1.35 psychological level (or right around it) as we have a confluence from both our Fibonacci extension & a spike in horizontal volume.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
To get involved in this move I'll be looking for a a potential retracement/pullback followed by a clear sign of reversal. The 2 price levels that I have on my radar are $1.3750's & $1.3800's

USDCAD: Weekly AnalysisThe last week sharp fall of the pair was not irrelated to US-Iran negotiations.
Possible war in Persian Gulf means higher prices in oil and more raises in CAD.
The indicated levels are determined based on the most reaction points and the assumption of approximately equal distance between the zones.
Some of these points can also be confirmed by the mathematical intervals of Murray.
You can enter with/without confirmation. IF you want to take confirmation you can use LTF analysis, Spike move confirmation, Trend Strength confrimation and ETC.
SL could be placed below the zone or regarding the LTF swings.
TP is the next zone or the nearest moving S&R, which are median and borders of the drawn channels.
*******************************************************************
Role of different zones:
GREEN: Just long trades allowed on them.
RED: Just Short trades allowed on them.
BLUE: both long and short trades allowed on them.
WHITE: No trades allowed on them! just use them as TP points
USDCAD: Bearish Continuation Ahead 🇺🇸🇨🇦
USDCAD completed a consolidation within a horizontal range.
A violation of its support and a daily candle close below that
is a strong bearish signal.
I believe that the price may drop lower next week
and reach at least 1.3655 level.

USDCAD SHORTThe price broke the structure with impulse move and retraced. The price found resistance in previous low (inside resistance), where we have a 38.2% Fibonacci retarcement level, as well as 50MA, after that price broke the correction, so i expect the price move further to the downside.
ENTRY: 1.3860
TP 1.3800
SL 1.3889

Follow Iran news to take advantage of USDCAD:Dear Traders,
follow Iran news! Really do that! Again, Trump negotiations could change everything!
How? It's all about oil! any war in the Middle east could rise the oil prices and Loonie will pump!
So, any bad news about the US-Iran negotiations, I'll take long trades with cautions. and I'll be ready to take short from any possible Zones.
If everything goes normal, I'm ready to take Long/Short after confirmation from the Green and the Blue zones.
Expectations: (Just for normal situations, A war in middle east I'll short the pair)
The Green zone is not suitable for short trades.
The White zone is not suitable for any trades.
After all, 71Billion $ for Canda economy is considerable. Persian Gulf is one of the most important energy hubs of the world.
USDCADKey Reasons for CAD Strengthening Today
Market-Wide US Dollar Weakness
The CAD gained sharply against the USD, rising about 1% and reaching seven-month highs, largely driven by broad US dollar weakness rather than strong Canadian data alone.
Renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump against the EU and tech companies fueled risk-off sentiment, weakening the USD and benefiting the CAD as a commodity-linked currency.
Mid-Tier Canadian Economic Data and Oil Prices
Although Canadian economic data this week has been mostly mid-tier and not spectacular, the market focused on stable fundamentals like retail sales and trade balance, which support the currency.
Canada’s oil prices, a major export driver, remain supportive, helping underpin the CAD’s value.
Inflation and Interest Rate Expectations
Canada’s inflation remains somewhat elevated but controlled, with the Bank of Canada (BoC) expected to maintain relatively higher interest rates compared to other economies. This attracts capital inflows and supports the CAD.
The BoC’s stance contrasts with expectations of US Federal Reserve easing, contributing to the interest rate differential favoring the CAD.
Improved Trade Outlook and Economic Resilience
Talks between US and Canadian officials have eased some trade uncertainties, reducing risks to Canadian exports.
Canada’s trade deficit narrowed recently, and GDP growth showed resilience in key sectors, supporting market confidence in the CAD.
Risk-On Sentiment and Global Capital Flows
Investors’ risk appetite improved amid easing fears of a US recession and trade war escalation, leading to increased demand for risk-sensitive currencies like the CAD.
Risk-On Market Sentiment Encourages investment in CAD
USD and CAD Interest Rate Differential and 10-Year Bond Prices (May 2025)
Interest Rate Differential
The US 10-year Treasury yield is approximately 4.54% (recent 2025 data).
The Canadian 10-year Government Bond yield is slightly lower, around 3.50% to 3.60% (typical range in early 2025).
This creates an interest rate differential of roughly 0.9% to 1.0% in favor of the US.
Impact of Interest Rate Differential
The widening interest rate gap, with US yields higher than Canadian yields by about 1 percentage point, has contributed to a modest depreciation of the Canadian dollar (CAD) against the US dollar (USD) since late 2024.
Investors find US assets more attractive due to higher yields, leading to capital flows into USD and downward pressure on CAD.
The Bank of Canada’s expected policy rate is around 2.5% by end-2025, while the US Federal Reserve’s expected rate is higher near 3.75–4.0%, reinforcing the yield advantage for USD assets.
10-Year Bond Prices
Bond prices move inversely to yields. With US 10-year yields higher, US bond prices have declined relative to Canadian bonds.
The higher US yields reflect tighter monetary policy and stronger economic outlook compared to Canada, where monetary policy is expected to be more accommodative.
This divergence in bond prices and yields supports the USD’s relative strength versus CAD
USD/CAD Exchange Rate and Market Sentiment
USD/CAD has been trading in a broad range in 2025, with forecasts varying between 1.25 and 1.45 for the year.
The Canadian dollar is considered overvalued by about 9 cents relative to the USD, according to some models.
Market analysts expect the USD to maintain moderate strength against CAD due to the interest rate differential and divergent monetary policies.
Summary Table
Metric USD CAD
10-Year Bond Yield (%) ~4.54% ~3.50–3.60%
Interest Rate Differential +0.9% to 1.0% (USD over CAD) —
Bond Price Trend Lower (due to higher yield) Higher (due to lower yield)
Exchange Rate (USD/CAD) Stronger USD Weaker CAD
Conclusion
Today’s CAD strength was largely driven by broad US dollar weakness amid renewed trade tensions and tariff threats, combined with stable Canadian economic fundamentals and supportive oil prices. While Canadian data was not overwhelmingly strong, it was sufficient to maintain investor confidence, especially against a weakening USD, resulting in a notable rally in the Canadian dollar.
The higher US 10-year bond yields relative to Canada’s have contributed to a significant interest rate differential (~1%), favoring USD assets. This has led to USD strength against CAD and lower US bond prices compared to Canadian bonds. The ongoing divergence in monetary policy outlooks between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada underpins this trend, influencing currency flows and bond market dynamics in 2025.
USDCAD: 1D Death Cross signals more selling.USDCAD is almost oversold on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 31.307, MACD = -0.005, ADX = 41.498) as it is having one of the strongest red 1D candles of 2025, which is dominated by a Channel Down pattern. The market formed today a 1D Death Cross and since the new bearish wave started on a 1D MA200 rejection, we expect the selling to continue despite the oversold technical condition. Short and aim for a new -3.80% decline TP = 1.35000.

USD/CAD 1.4000 Rejection -> 2025 LowsUSD-weakness was back in a big way this week and even as other pairs had yielded to the USD-breakout into last Monday, with fresh lows in EUR/USD and fresh highs in USD/JPY - USD/CAD retained its bearish structure with a hold of resistance right at the 1.4000 level.
Price is now 250ish pips lower as sellers have went back to work and there's potential for breakdown scenarios given this hold near support following a pullback to the big figure. For those looking to work with pullbacks, there's now resistance potential at prior swing lows 1.3814 and then 1.3846, and USD/CAD remains one of the more attractive venues for a continuation of Dollar weakness as we move towards the final week of May trade. - js
