USD/CAD Analysis

The key level of 1.3200 was easily broken yesterday in the sharp rise of CAD that was driven by a very large increase in the price of crude oil over the day: about 5%!

The FOM release then caused a recovery back into the bullish trend, so looking at the big picture, it seems to be still intact.

If the price cannot make a new high within the next few days, it will be very likely to fall to the support at 1.3064.

USDCAD

Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Advance GDP and Unemployment Claims at 12:30pm London time. There is nothing due concerning the CAD.
