Talking Points
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Sidelines preferred
- Range on the daily remains in force (1.0900 – 1.1200)
- Hammer on the four hour chart hints at a bounce ahead
A Bullish Engulfing formation on the daily chart for USD/CAD is hinting some strength for the pair following a failure to hold below the psychologically-significant 1.1000 handle. However, follow-through has been limited at this stage which suggests the bulls may struggle to push prices back to the 2014 highs at 1.1200.
