USD/CAD Analysis

The level at 1.3840 was acting as weak support last week, and we opened this week some way below that level, and the price has been rising quite strongly ever since. Crude Oil seems to have just turned at key resistance and this may be why this pair might have bottomed out. Of course as Tokyo closes volume will drop significantly as London is on holiday today, so we may not get much more movement until New York opens.

We are some way from either of the key levels remaining nearby, and it is very unlikely that either will be hit today. The thing to watch for now will probably be whether the price continues to move up or whether it runs into strong resistance at around 1.3920.

USDCAD

There is nothing due today concerning the CAD or the USD, it is also a public holiday in the U.K.
