The short-term oscillators currently suggest that bullish forces are waning but remain in control. Specifically, the RSI is pointing downwards above its 50-neutral mark, while the MACD histogram is softening above both zero and its red signal line. [..]

Posted on November 18, 2022 at 8:05 am GMT

USDCAD is hovering above the 1.3300 mark after several days of trying to break the 1.3225 support level.
