USD/CAD Analysis

I wrote yesterday that the pair looked heavy and seemed poised to fall down to 1.3225. We did get a fall, but to only 1.3250 so far.

This pair is hard to predict as we get these big fluctuations in the price of oil which tends to influence the price of this currency pair. Nevertheless I think the area from 1.3225 to around 1.3190 looks like an excellent place to seek to enter a long trade.

USDCAD

There is nothing due today regarding the CAD. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of Unemployment Claims data at 1:30pm London time, followed by the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index at 5pm.
