“USDCAD short-term technicals: bullish—MACD and RSI are biased to further upside as trend signals hint to an increasingly bullish bias”.
“The 50 day MA is an important level of near term resistance at 1.2321. Friday’s closing above 1.2270 the 38.2% Fibo retracement is also important, and shifts the focus to the 50% retracement level at 1.2378 followed by the 61.8% Fibo at 1.2485”.
