USD/CAD surged to as high as 1.3521 last week but formed a temporary top there and retreated. Initial bias remains neutral this week for some consolidations first. Downside of retreat should be contained by 1.3399 minor support to bring another rally. Prior break of 1.3467 resistance indicates resumption of rise from 1.3068. On the upside, break of 1.3521 will extend the rise to retest 1.3664 high.
In the bigger picture, USD/CAD is staying well inside medium term rising channel (support at 1.3235). Thus, the up trend from 1.2061 (2017 low) should be in progress. On the upside, decisive break of 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2016 high) to 1.2061 at 1.3685 will pave the way to 78.6% retracement at 1.4127 next. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.3068 support holds.
In the longer term picture, corrective fall from 1.4689 (2015 high) should have completed with three waves down to 1.2061, just ahead of 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048. The development keeps long term up trend from 0.9406 and that from 0.9056 (2007 low) intact. For now, there is still prospect of extending the long term up trend through 1.4689.
