CAD: a sharp downward trend 8/12/2025

The USD/CAD pair is experiencing a sharp decline within a strong downward trend after breaking the key support level at 1.3900.

Technical Outlook – 4-Hour Timeframe:

The simple moving averages continue to apply downward pressure from above, with no dynamic resistance in place, while the pair moves along a steep descending trendline.

Likely Scenario:

If the price remains below the previously broken support—now acting as resistance at 1.3900—the outlook favors further declines. A confirmed break below 1.3810 would open the door for a move toward the initial support at 1.3770, potentially extending to 1.3720.

Conversely, if the price stabilizes above the psychological barrier of 1.3910, the downward trend could pause temporarily, allowing for a recovery attempt targeting 1.4010.

Caution: The risk level is high 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.
