- Updated targets & invalidation levels
USDCAD 30min
Technical Outlook: USDCAD failed to close above key resistance noted last week at the May high-day close at 1.3121 with the pullback breaking back below the weekly open, keeping the near-term focus lower in the pair heading into tomorrow’s Bank of Canada interest rate decision. Interim support rests at 1.2985 backed by 1.2949 & the monthly open at 1.2924 – both areas of interest for possible exhaustion / long-entries.
Resistance stands at 1.3015/22 backed by the weekly open at 1.3041- A breach above key resistance shifting the focus back towards key resistance at 1.3087-1.3104. Note that a close above 1.3121 is still needed to validate a breakout of the broader triangle consolidation pattern we’ve been tracking since the yearly low.
