Technical Analysis – USDCAD hits 8-month high, but it’s not a victory yet
USDCAD marks new higher high after disappointing ISM manufacturing PMI
A close above 1.3880-1.3900 is needed to postpone profit-taking
US nonfarm payrolls eagerly awaited at 12:30 GMT
USDCAD began the month on a positive note, swiftly recovering from its recent setback and reaching an eight-month high of 1.3877, slightly above April’s peak of 1.3844.
The pair has been in a bull run since bottoming twice near May’s floor of 1.3588 and around the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) on July 11, but the recent comeback was not powerful enough to achieve a close above January’s resistance line yesterday. Given the weakening momentum in the RSI and the stochastic oscillator, which are close to overbought levels, traders might exercise some caution.
On the downside, the falling line, which connects the 2022 and 2023 highs, might provide some footing near 1.3840 ahead of the 1.3785 handle, where the 20-day EMA is converging. A move below the latter could dampen sentiment once the bears cross below the 1.3723-1.3743 constraining territory, which includes the 50-day EMA, and the broken resistance line from April’s peak. Should the bears dominate there, the decline could next stabilize within the 1.3637-1.3663 trendline territory. Note that the 200-day EMA is approaching that region too.
Alternatively, if the bulls successfully close above 1.3880, surpassing the 1.3900 psychological mark as well, all the attention will turn to the 2022 top of 1.3976. Breaching that wall and rallying beyond the 1.4000 round level, where the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of April’s downfall is placed, the price could next challenge the 1.4050 region taken from May 2020.
Overall, if the price fails to rise above 1.3880-1.3900, traders could begin to think about profit-taking as the USDCAD chart keeps trading near a constraining zone after a green wave.免責聲明: XM Group提供線上交易平台的登入和執行服務,允許個人查看和/或使用網站所提供的內容,但不進行任何更改或擴展其服務和訪問權限,並受以下條款與條例約束:(i)條款與條例;(ii)風險提示;(iii)完全免責聲明。網站內部所提供的所有資訊,僅限於一般資訊用途。請注意,我們所有的線上交易平台內容並不構成,也不被視為進入金融市場交易的邀約或邀請 。金融市場交易會對您的投資帶來重大風險。
