USD/CAD drops sharply after hitting 1.3119 and intraday bias is turned neutral first. Still, we’re holding on to the view that correction from 1.3385 could have completed with three waves down to 1.2961. Thus, another rise is expected. On the upside, above 1.3119 will target 1.3289 resistance. Decisive break there will confirm an target 1.3385 and above. In case of another fall, we’d continue to expect strong support from rising channel line (now at 1.2932) to contain downside to bring rebound.
In the bigger picture, as long as channel support (now at 1.2932) holds, we’re holding to the bullish view. That is, fall from 1.4689 (2015 high) has completed at 1.2061, ahead of 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048. Further rally should be seen for 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3685 and above. However, sustained break of the channel support will argue that rise from 1.2061 has completed and will bring deeper fall to 1.2526 support to confirm.
