Talking Points
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Bearish Pattern Fails To Find Confirmation
- Sights Set On Recent Highs Near 1.1270
USD/CAD’s recent rebound has left a Bearish Engulfing formation lacking confirmation. This is in turn leaves the pair’s sights set on the recent highs near 1.1270. A daily close below the 1.1100 barrier would be required to negate a bullish technical bias.
