USD/CAD Analysis

The 1.3500 area has been supportive now for a few days and it continues to hold the price. However with the rise in the USD this should have been more convincing. The reason why this pair just cannot go up is mostly due to the continuing resilience of the price of crude oil which is heavily correlated with the Canadian dollar.

Although the support at 1.3496 is holding I do not look to this level any more but instead I see the key prices at 1.3620 above and 1.3435 below.

I feel it is very hard to predict what is going to happen next. Before going long it would probably be a good idea to wait for a breakout up past a key resistance level and that is just not happening yet.

USDCAD

Concerning the USD, there will be a release of ISM Manufacturing PMI data at 3pm London time. Regarding the CAD, there will be a release of GDP data at 1:30pm.
