The USD/CAD pair declined in the previous trading session. As highlighted in our last report, we maintained a neutral stance due to conflicting technical signals, noting that a break below 1.3820 would apply negative pressure and open the way for a retest of 1.3790. The pair indeed extended losses, reaching a low of 1.3769.
Technical Outlook – 4-hour timeframe:
The pair has confirmed a break below the ascending support line, as illustrated on the chart. This breakdown, combined with the continued negative crossover of the simple moving averages, strengthens the case for a continuation of the broader bearish trend.
Probable Scenario:
As long as trading remains below the previously broken support—now turned resistance under the role-reversal principle—at 1.3840, the downside outlook remains dominant. Bearish targets are located at 1.3750 initially, with a further extension toward 1.3670. Conversely, a successful break above 1.3840 would invalidate the bearish scenario and restore upward momentum, with potential targets at 1.3900.
Fundamental Note:
Traders are awaiting high-impact US economic data today, including the preliminary GDP (quarterly) reading and weekly unemployment claims. These releases may trigger heightened volatility across USD pairs.
Warning: Risks remain high amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios should be considered.
