- Four hour chart highlights potential range trading opportunities
USD/CAD remains capped below former support-turned resistance at 1.1000 with a Doji on the daily showing a reluctance from the bulls to reclaim the key level. The failure to push back above resistance suggests a bearish bias with a potential target offered by the recent range-bottom at 1.0860.
