USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Greenback trading below 1.3100 ahead of Bank of Canada
- USD/CAD is trading in a bull trend above the 200-period simple moving average ahead of the Bank of Canada rate hike decision. The BOC is expected to raise the target rate by 25 basis points to 1.75% this Wednesday.
- The 1.3100 resistance has been acting as resistance for four consecutive days as the RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicator are losing bullish momentum.
- Failure to close above 1.3100 on a daily closing basis can lead to a correction down to 1.3048 August 14 low.
