USDCAD Technicals: The USDCAD based mostly earlier within the day on the 100 bar MA

The USDCAD spent yesterday capped by a confluence of resistance—its 100-day transferring common at 1.37738 and the 100-bar transferring common on the Four-hour chart (blue line) at 1.37516. In early buying and selling right this moment, sellers once more leaned on the decrease Four-hour common, however patrons stepped in, pushing the pair greater (see decrease blue line on the chart above).

Stronger-than-expected PPI knowledge fueled a breakout above the 100-day transferring common, triggering a run that took value past this week’s prior excessive at 1.3805. The rally has since prolonged to 1.3817.

Going ahead, the 100-day transferring common now serves as a key threat degree for patrons searching for extra upside momentum. A sustained transfer again beneath would undermine the bullish bias. On the topside, the following resistance goal comes at 1.3860 (the Could 29 excessive), adopted by 1.38789, the excessive from two weeks in the past.

Get above that degree and merchants will begin concentrate on stretching towards the 38.2% retracement up at 1.39229. If the patrons are two take again extra management. Absent that and the market remains to be inside a sideways up and down vary.
