USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Loonie strengthens post Canadian inflation data - USD/CAD bracing for further decline

  • USD/CAD is having trouble to resume the main bull trend as the pair is facing massive resistance at the 1.3120-1.3155 area and the bearish daily trendline. CAD gained in strength after the release of the Bank of Canada Consumer Price Index Core year-on-year to July came in at 1.6% versus 1.3% forecast.
  • USD/CAD is currently supported by the ascending trendline on the daily chart and once bears break below it the target becomes 1.2959 August 7 low. Bears need to break below 1.3048 August 14 low in order to escape the current 1.3050-1.3155 range. 
  • Since the average daily range has already been reached USD/CAD might enter a consolidation phase and the drop might happen next week.
