Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2884; (P) 1.2914; (R1) 1.2943; More….
USD/CAD’s decline continues today and reaches as low as 1.2815. Intraday bias remains on the downside. Current decline from 1.3793 is on course to retest 1.2460 low. On the upside, break of 1.2942 resistance is needed to indicate short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish in case of recovery.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 1.4689 medium term top are seen as a correction pattern. The second leg should have finished at 1.3793. Break of 1.2460 will extend such correction to 50% retracement of 0.9406 to 1.4869 at 1.2048. At this point, we’d look for strong support from there to contain downside and bring rebound. However, firm break there will target 100% projection of 1.4689 to 1.2460 from 1.3793 at 1.1564.
