USD/CAD Price Analysis: Bulls and bears battle it out at key structure

• USD/CAD is making moves to the upside, but bears are lurking. 
• Bulls eye a longer-term target beyond 1.4000. 

We have seen USD/CAD break out of a symmetrical triangle on the daily chart and the focus is on the upside while the price continues to ride weekly trendline support.,

A correction at this juncture into prior highs near 1.3580, could act as support offering a discount to the bulls seeking a run on liquidity towards 1.3800/25 stops in a continuation of the short squeeze.
