USD/CAD Analysis

This pair has been nicely bullish although it might have a relatively quiet trading session today as Canada is not open for business.

The chart below shows how the price has not only established new support above 1.3005 at 1.3078, but also how well this level has held supportively. Furthermore, there is no obvious strong resistance anywhere before 1.3400, so it looks as if the price can really fly upwards if it wants to.

If USD strength continues, it looks as if this will be a great currency pair to be long of.

As there is no obvious resistance before 1.3400, which is not going to be reached any time soon, I do not have any listings for possible short trades.

USDCAD

There are no high-impact events due today concerning either the CAD or the USD. It is a public holiday in Canada.
