USD/CAD Analysis

The pair continued to make a new 11 year high yesterday, as the price of oil continues to be very weak. It is interesting that the high was made before the FOMC announced the raising of US interest rates, and has not yet been surpassed.

The overall picture is bullish still both technically, fundamentally and sentimentally, so this remains the obvious choice for trend traders to be long of. Plenty of obvious highs are being broken to flip to support levels that should be good candidates for long entries.

The obvious resistance level is still some way above, at the key round number of 1.4000.

USDCAD

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