USD/CAD is correcting lower in a bearish sub-trend within the broader uptrend, as markets consolidate recent gains ahead of policy headlines.
Technical:
RSI is attempting to exit oversold, hinting at base-building for a rebound. Price continues to hold above the 50-period SMA, keeping the larger bullish structure intact. The 1.4000 zone (former resistance turned support) remains pivotal.
Base case:
While above 1.4000, upside risk persists. A confirmed break through 1.4065 would likely open 1.4095, then 1.4120.
Alternative:
A decisive drop below 1.4000 would revive downside pressure toward a retest of 1.3960.
Risk:
The Bank of Canada Governor’s speech today may trigger sharp swings. Maintain disciplined sizing and clear invalidation levels; conditions may not suit all risk profiles.
