Key Quotes
“In light of long dated indicators that are diverging negatively, the upside appears to remain capped for time being. A weekly close below 1.37 will mean a deeper retracement initially towards last September highs of 1.3460 with intermittent support at 1.3540. 1.37/1.3780 is an immediate resistance while 1.4330 will be an important hurdle near term.
USD/CAD broke above broad upward channel which was in force since 2007 lows and achieved our initial target of 1.4690. Since then a retracement is underway and it is probing the channel limit (at 1.37). A weekly close below will mean extension in the down move towards last September highs of 1.3460.”
