  • USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 1.1341 1.1257 1.1205
  • Resistance: 1.1408 1.1476 1.1560

The US Dollar continues to press higher against its Canadian namesake with prices poised to challenge last month’s swing high. Near-term resistance is in the 1.1348-1408 area marked by the October 15 high and the 50% Fibonacci expansion with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 1.1476. Alternatively a turn below the 38.2% Fib at 1.1341 clears the way for a test of the 23.6% expansion at 1.1257.

Prices are too close to resistance to justify entering long from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests that taking up the short side is premature. With that in mind we will remain flat for now.
