Canadian Dollar Breaks the Uptrend Line 21/1/2026

The USD/CAD pair has come under renewed selling pressure after failing to sustain gains above the 1.3920 resistance area.

Technical Outlook – 4-Hour Chart

Price action has slipped back below the simple moving averages, which are now positioned beneath a strong resistance zone, increasing the probability of further downside. This shift is reinforced by the pair’s break of the ascending trendline, as illustrated on the chart — a technical development that strengthens the bearish outlook in the near term.

Expected Scenario

As long as trading remains capped below the 1.3875 resistance level, downside risks are likely to prevail. A confirmed break below 1.3805 would reinforce bearish momentum, opening the way for a move toward 1.3775.

On the other hand, a return to stability above 1.3875 would temporarily invalidate the bearish setup and could trigger a recovery attempt, targeting 1.3910 initially, followed by 1.3940.

Market Note:
Markets are awaiting statements from U.S. President Donald Trump today, which may trigger heightened volatility.

Risk Warning:
Market conditions remain high-risk amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios remain possible.

Risk note
Headline risk is elevated. Use prudent sizing and firm stops; reassess quickly if these trigger levels give way.
