USD/CAD Technical analysis

The USD/CAD is still upward biased, snapping three days of consecutive losses. Although the pair tested the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3645, it jumped from that area and formed a bullish engulfing candle chart pattern. Oscillators remain in bullish territory, except for the Rate of Change (RoC), which shows that selling pressure is waning, about to cross above neutral.

In case of a bullish continuation, the USD/CAD first resistance would be 1.3814, today’s high. A breach of the latter will expose the YTD high at 1.3862 before the pair edges to 1.3900. As an alternate scenario, the USD/CAD cracking the 20-day EMA at 1.3645 would pave the way toward the 50-day EMA At 1.3550.
