USD/CAD next target 1.0658?

The pair is now trading closer to its next resistance at 1.0658, posted in early October 2011, as the greenback is now quickly gathering steam. Data wise, Canadian GDP figures surprised investors to the upside expanding 2.7% during the third quarter, however the correction lower to lows around 1.0560 was ephemeral. In the opinion of analysts at TD Securities, “While the bounce off this morning’s low has been firm, we think new highs are needed to get the short-term momentum and price moves back more obviously in the USD’s favour. We spot firm support at 1.0520/25. Resistance is 1.0610/15.
