USD/CAD Technical Analysis– Prices advanced as expected after putting in a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern above support at a rising trend line set from mid-September 2012. The pair has now cleared major falling trend line resistance connecting tops dating back to October 2011 to expose the 50% Fibonacci retracement at 1.0367. A break above that targets the 61.8% level at 1.0451. Near-term support is at 1.0283, the intersection of the broken trend line and the 38.2% Fib. We are holding long.
