USD/CAD’s up trend continued last week and hit as high as 1.3976. As a temporary top was formed, initial bias is neutral this week for some consolidations. Outlook will stay bullish as long as 1.3501 support holds. Firm break of 1.3976 will target 200% projection of 1.2005 to 1.2947 from 1.2401 at 1.4285.
In the bigger picture, up trend from 1.2005 (2021 low) is still in progress. Based on current impulsive momentum, it could be resuming long term up trend from 0.9056 (2007 low). Whether it is or it isn’t, retest of 1.4689 (2016 high) should be seen next. This will now remain the favored case as long as 1.3222 resistance turned support holds.
In the longer term picture, price actions from 1.4689 (2016 high) are seen as a consolidation pattern only, which might have completed at 1.2005. That is, up trend from 0.9506 (2007 low) is expected to resume at a later stage. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.2061 support holds, which is close to 50% retracement of 0.9406 to 1.4689 at 1.2048.
