USD/CAD Analysis
There is a long-term bullish trend, but the medium-term trend is even more bearish, with the price continuing to make lower lows and lower highs. At the time of writing, the chart below is hinting that the price could be starting to form a double bottom, but so far it is only a hint. The bears look to be in control for the time being, but there is high-impact data due later for both sides of this pair, which could upset the price action. Something to watch out for is the support level at 1.3521, as here we can expect support from the big round number at 1.3500 will begin to be felt.
Concerning the CAD, there will be a release of Manufacturing Sales data at 1:30pm London time. Regarding the USD, there will be a release of Crude Oil Inventories data at 3:30pm.
