USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Bears are in control below 1.3200 figure

  • USD/CAD is trading just below a daily trendline which is acting as resistance for the main bullish trend to resume. 
  • USD/CAD bulls are also having a hard time due to the 1.3120-1.3155 area which is acting as strong resistance level for the last weeks of trading. Until the market cannot have a sustained breakout above the area, the short-term momentum is bearish with targets at 1.3100 figure and 1.3053-1.3066 area. 
  • A bull breakout above 1.3200 would negate the bearish short-term scenario.
