Canadian Dollar Price Chart USD/CAD Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros , Technical Strategist; USD/CAD on Tradingview
Notes: In last month's Canadian Dollar Weekly Price Outlook we noted that USD /CAD had, 'rebounded off confluence downtrend support the focus is on this recovery with a pivot above 1.2619 needed to suggest a more significant low was registered last week. It's been a month of sideways price action and the outlook remains unchanged as USD/CAD carves a well-defined April opening-range just below confluent resistance at 1.2580-1.2619- a region defined by the 2018 yearly open and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of 2017 advance.
Weekly support stands with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the March advance at 1.2473 with a break / weekly close below 1.2358 needed to mark resumption of the broader downtrend towards the 2017 low-week close at 1.2156. A topside breach exposes more the highlighted resistance slope near the 2021 high-week close at 1.2774- look for a larger reaction there IF reached. Subsequent topside objectives eyed at the yearly swing high at 1.2881 and the 2020 yearly-open at 1.2975.
Bottom line: USD/CAD is approaching the upper-bounds of the April opening-range range, just below a key resistance pivot. From a trading standpoint, look to reduce long-exposure / raise protective stops on stretch into the 1.26-handle losses should be limited to the yearly low-day close at 1.2485 IF price is indeed heading higher with a close above 1.2774 ultimately needed to suggest a larger trend reversal is underway.
