Canadian Dollar Price Chart – USD/CAD Weekly

Please add a description for the image.

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; USD/CAD on Tradingview

Notes: In last month’s Canadian Dollar Weekly Price Outlook we noted that USD/CAD had, “responded to key Fibonacci support early in the month and while further topside may be likely near-term, the broader risk remains weighted to the downside.” A three-week rally took prices into confluence resistance last week at the June trendline / 23.6% retracement at 1.3389 with Loonie paring a portion off the losses this week.

The focus heading into the start of October trade is on a reaction off this mark with the September rally at risk while below this key resistance zone. Initial weekly support now rests at ~1.3250 backed by the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at 1.3157– ultimately a break / close below the longer-term 61.8% retracement of the 2017 advance / August low-week close at 1.3056/60 would be needed to mark resumption towards the yearly opening-range lows at 1.2951 and beyond.

A topside breach / close above this confluence zone would suggest a more significant low was registered in August with such a scenario exposing subsequent topside resistance objectives at the May 2019 high-week close at 1.3515 and the 38.2% retracement of the March decline at 1.3633. A close above the 2017 high-week close at 1.3709 would ultimately be needed to put the broader long-bias back into focus.

Bottom line: USD/CAD has responded to confluence resistance and heading into the October open the focus remains on a reaction / inflection off this key threshodl. From at trading standpoint, look for support / an exhaustion low ahead of 1.3157 IF price is indeed heading higher with a breach / close above this week’s highs needed to suggest a larger Dollar recovery is underway. Review my latest Canadian Dollar Price Outlook for a closer look at the near-term USD/CAD technical trade levels.

  • Short positions are18.18% lower than yesterday and 1.98% higher from last week
  • We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests USD/CAD prices may continue to fall. Traders are more net-long than yesterday but less net-long from last week. The combination of current positioning and recent changes gives us a further mixed USD/CAD trading bias from a sentiment standpoint.
