USDCAD oversold rally capped at 1.3800The USDCAD pair continues to trade within a broader bearish trend, with recent price action suggesting a temporary oversold rebound. The pair is currently attempting to recover from near-term lows, yet remains capped below a key technical resistance level. Key Resistance: 1.3800 – This level marks a prior consolidation zone and represents immediate resistance. A test and rejection here would reinforce the broader bearish structure. Support Levels: 1.3670 – First major support, aligning with previous demand zones. 1.3635 – Secondary support, potentially acting as a pivot in extended declines. 1.3600 – Psychological and structural support; a break below would strengthen the bearish case. Bullish Scenario: A decisive breakout above 1.3800 with a daily close would invalidate the current bearish bias and could lead to a rally toward the 1.3850 and 1.3880 resistance zones. Technical Indicators: Momentum is showing early signs of recovery from oversold conditions, but lacks confirmation for trend reversal. Moving averages are tilted lower, reinforcing downside pressure unless a sustained breakout occurs. Conclusion: The bias for USDCAD remains bearish below the 1.3800 resistance zone. A rejection at this level could trigger renewed downside pressure toward 1.3670 and beyond. However, a confirmed breakout above 1.3800 and a daily close would shift momentum in favor of the bulls, opening the path for further upside retracement. Traders should monitor price action closely at 1.3800 for directional confirmation.

USD/CAD H1 | Overlap support at 38.2% Fibonacci retracementUSD/CAD is falling towards an overlap support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher. Buy entry is at 1.3686 which is an overlap support that aligns closely with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Stop loss is at 1.3623 which is a level that lies underneath an overlap support and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. Take profit is at 1.3773 which is a swing-high resistance.

USDCAD Eyes Oct 2022 Resistance Once AgainFollowing the U.S.–Iran strike over the weekend, the U.S. dollar strengthened, posting solid rebounds across major dollar pairs. The USD/CAD chart, in particular, climbed back toward the 1.38 level. The pair is now eyeing a key resistance zone between 1.3840 and 1.3880, a range that has consistently held since October 2022. A decisive break and hold above this zone could pave the way for a continued rally toward the 1.40 mark. Conversely, a drop back below 1.3600 could signal renewed downside risk for 2025, in line with the broader bearish trend that has defined the year so far. — Razan Hilal, CMT

USD/CAD Tests Key Resistance Amid Mixed Global Economic SignalsTechnical Analysis On the 4-hour chart, USD/CAD has broken above the 1.3746 resistance level, which corresponds to the top swing of the recent rally from 1.3687. The breakout above this level is a bullish signal, reinforced by a positive RSI reading above 70, indicating strong buying momentum. The MACD histogram is in positive territory, and the stochastic oscillator remains near overbought levels, showing sustained bullish energy. Price action seems to retest the broken upper boundary of a descending channel drawn from the last high near 1.3723-1.3747. This resistance zone near 1.3770-1.3783 also coincides with the 141.4% and 161.8% Fibonacci extensions, marking key targets for continuation should bulls maintain control. Alternative Scenario If the price fails to hold above the 1.3746 breakout level and retreats back below 1.3723 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement), we could see a pullback towards the lower support zone near 1.3687. A breakdown below this support may extend the correction into the mid-1.3600s, retesting the lower channel boundary.

USDCAD DETAILED ANALYSISUSDCAD has formed a classic falling wedge pattern on the daily timeframe, with price currently pressing against the upper trendline resistance near 1.37300. This is a high-probability bullish reversal setup, and the pair is showing early signs of a potential breakout. The recent bullish momentum from the lows suggests buyers are stepping in aggressively, and if we get a strong daily close above the wedge, it could confirm the start of a new upward leg. My near-term target for this breakout is 1.47300, offering an excellent risk-reward profile. From a fundamental perspective, the Canadian Dollar is currently under pressure due to weakening oil prices and softening domestic economic data. The Bank of Canada has recently signaled a dovish tilt following its latest rate cut in June, citing slower GDP growth and easing inflation. On the other hand, the US Dollar is finding renewed strength backed by sticky inflation and the Fed’s cautious stance on rate cuts. The divergence in monetary policy between the Fed and BoC is creating a favorable environment for USDCAD bulls. Technically, the confluence of wedge resistance, bullish divergence on the RSI, and a clear higher low formation all point toward a breakout scenario. A break above 1.37600–1.38000 would unlock the next wave of bullish continuation, potentially accelerating momentum toward the 1.47 handle. This area also aligns with the previous March highs, making it a strong technical magnet. I remain bullish on USDCAD and will be watching the breakout closely this week. If the pair holds above 1.36800 and breaks structure convincingly, I’ll be adding to longs on confirmation. The current setup presents a textbook breakout opportunity supported by strong fundamentals, technical structure, and market sentiment leaning in favor of the USD.

USD/CAD Trap in Progress? Smart Money Flips BearishUSD/CAD is currently in a rebalancing phase after the strong downside correction seen over recent weeks. Following a rejection in the 1.3900–1.4000 supply zone, price retraced down to a major demand area between 1.3500 and 1.3650, where it has shown a notable bullish reaction. The pair is now trading at 1.3734, and multi-frame data suggests we are in a transitional phase—not yet a confirmed bullish trend reversal. COT Report – Institutional Positioning The latest Commitments of Traders data (June 10th) reveals critical signals: Commercials (hedgers and large institutions) have aggressively increased their long exposure on CAD, adding +27,999 contracts. This indicates strong expectations of Canadian dollar appreciation—bearish implications for USD/CAD in the medium term. Non-Commercials (speculators) reduced their short CAD exposure by -14,319 contracts, signaling that speculative players are starting to unwind long USD/CAD positions. Overall, the net shift shows institutional sentiment turning bearish on the pair, potentially pointing to a deeper downside once the current technical pullback completes. USD Index COT – Dollar Momentum Weakening On the USD Index, Non-Comms have added +1,279 long contracts, but positioning remains moderate. Commercials are flat, suggesting the dollar lacks strong bullish backing. This makes any sustained USD/CAD rally structurally fragile. Retail Sentiment Retail traders are 57% short and 43% long on USD/CAD. Although not extreme, this imbalance suggests confidence among retail participants in a bearish move—often preceding a short-term upward squeeze before an eventual trend continuation. We could therefore see price move toward 1.3900 as a liquidity grab, setting the stage for a larger reversal. Technical Analysis – Outlook Key highlights: A strong bullish reaction occurred from the 1.3500–1.3650 demand zone, previously well-respected. The weekly RSI is still below the 50-level but is turning upward—momentum is improving. Price structure shows room for a pullback to the 1.3900–1.4000 supply zone, which aligns with higher-timeframe order blocks. This zone remains a critical resistance, and unless the macro and positioning context changes, a renewed bearish impulse is expected from this area. Trading Outlook The current picture presents a tactical short-term long opportunity, followed by a potential structural short setup. 📈 Scenario 1 – Bullish Pullback (in play): With price above 1.3700 and consolidating, there’s space for a rally toward the 1.3900–1.4000 supply zone. Ideal for short-term targets. 📉 Scenario 2 – Structural Short (priority bias): Should price reach 1.3950–1.4000 and show bearish confirmation (e.g., engulfing, doji, rejection on H4/H1), this would be a prime area to initiate swing shorts, targeting 1.3600 and eventually 1.3450. ✅ Final Bias: Structural Bearish – Corrective Bullish Watch for potential false breakouts above 1.3800–1.3900 to liquidate retail shorts before a more meaningful downside move. The sharp increase in commercial net long CAD positions supports a bearish USD/CAD bias for the coming weeks.

Trade Idea: Sell USD/CAD **Why Sell USD/CAD?** **🇺🇸 U.S. Dollar (USD):** * **U.S. growth is slowing** → *Losing steam. A weaker economy means less support for the dollar.* * **Inflation still above 2%** → *Sticky, but not scary. Not enough heat for the Fed to tighten further — dollar stays dull.* * **Fed is on pause, no rate hikes ahead** → *The engine's idling. No fuel to push USD higher.* * **Market heavily short USD** → *Traders are already betting against it — and they might be right. Momentum is down.* --- **🇨🇦 Canadian Dollar (CAD):** * **Oil prices are back above \$70** → *Oil is CAD’s lifeline — and it’s flowing again. That props up the loonie.* * **BoC holding rates with a neutral tone** → *Not cutting, not panicking. Steady hands support CAD.* * **Core inflation still high (CPI-trim \~3.1%)** → *Quiet pressure. Enough to keep the BoC on alert — a silent strength for CAD.* * **More traders turning bullish on CAD** → *The crowd’s shifting — and the loonie is starting to feel the love.* * **CAD still sensitive to risk-off mood** → *If markets panic, CAD could slip. But for now, risk is manageable.*

Israel-Iran Confrontation. (I expect upward movement in USD/CADIsrael and Iran are exchanging missile strikes, but it seems markets are trying to play their own game, assuming that this conflict will not cross the nuclear threshold. in the meantime, investors are shifting their focus to key events this week. The main highlights will be the consumer inflation reports from the UK and the eurozone. In the EU, inflation is expected to stabilize at 1.9%, while in the UK, it is forecast to decrease from 3.5% to 3.3% year over year. This week will also bring central bank meetings in Switzerland, the UK, and, of course, the U.S. Federal Reserve-which will likely take center stage and divert attention from the tow European central banks. Other events worth focusing on include the release of the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index U.S. retail sales figures. But let's return to the week's main event-the Fed's final monetary policy decision, which will be made over two days, Tuesday and Wednesday. According to the consensus forecast, the central bank is expected to leave the key interest rate unchanged at 4,50% The main reasons for this are persistently high consumer inflation figures, which showed an annual increase last week (albeit smaller than expected), and uncertainty about the consequences of Donald Trump's presidency. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has previously cited both as reasons to pause the rate-cutting cycle. So, what might come of the Fed holding rates steady? Frankly, not much. Ongoing uncertainty will continue to be the primary driving force in the markets. Traders are starting to anticipate rate cuts in the second half of the year. However, I believe there is a strong chance that rates will remain unchanged until next year. This is due not only to risk of inflation returning to 3% and the murky geoeconomic policies of the U.S.-China trade war and its unclear outcome. Given this combination of negative factors-each of which obstructs rate cuts-and the fact that the market has already priced these into its expectations, we can anticipate a continuation of existing trends. The pair is declining amid rising crude oil prices, which support the Canadian dollar, a commodity-linked currency. If oil prices resume upward momentum, USD/CAD will face pressure again. If the pair fails to rise above 1,3600, a decline toward 1.3435 is likely. A potential sell level is 13560.

USDCAD Analysis – Breaking the Chains, Eyeing 1.38+USDCAD Price broke out from a long descending channel, followed by two bullish continuation flags – classic breakout-retest pattern. Price is now pushing above 1.3720, aligning with the 38.2% Fib level of the prior drop. Next upside targets: 🔹 1.3833 (Fib 61.8%) 🔹 1.3913 (Fib 78.6%) Clear stop level: below 1.3625 (channel breakout support) Structure Bias: Bullish continuation. Clean breakout + consolidation = probable impulse toward 1.3830/1.39. 📊 Current Bias: Bullish 🔍 Key Fundamentals Driving USDCAD USD Drivers (Neutral to Bullish): Fed held rates, dot plot shows only 1 cut in 2025, but Powell's tone leaned dovish. US Retail Sales + PPI were weak, but safe-haven USD demand persists due to geopolitical risks and equity volatility. Market reassessing Trump election risk, Fed independence, and inflation stickiness. CAD Drivers (Bearish): Oil prices are volatile due to Middle East tensions, but weak demand caps upside. Canada’s CPI softened, BoC already delivered a dovish cut earlier this month. CAD under pressure due to dovish BoC outlook and fiscal concerns (gov't budget deficits expanding). CAD is also suffering from reduced foreign investment flows. ⚠️ Risks to Watch Oil price spikes (especially if Strait of Hormuz risk escalates) may boost CAD short-term. A sharp reversal in DXY or Fed commentary shift toward aggressive easing. Weak US data next week (Core PCE especially) could unwind USD momentum. 🗓️ Upcoming Events to Watch US Core PCE (June 28) – critical inflation gauge for the Fed BoC Business Outlook Survey Oil Inventories + Global energy sentiment Geopolitical: Israel–Iran updates and Canada’s fiscal signals 🏁 Which Pair Leads the Move? USDCAD is leading commodity crosses as CAD weakness broadens. Watch USDCAD and GBPCAD for signs of CAD softness before others like AUDCAD/NZDCAD follow.
