USD/CAD pulls back after failing at 1.2000
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/CAD lost momentum ahead of the 1.20 mark and pulled back from fresh 6 year highs as the loonie recovered ground in tandem with oil.
The dollar had reached an almost 6-year peak of 1.1993 versus its Canadian counterpart, as the latter weakened as crude extended losses below $45 a barrel. However, mirroring oil bounce, the CAD managed to cut losses and dragged USD/CAD to a daily low of 1.1925 during the American session. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.1945, still 0.22% below its opening price.
USD/CAD levels to watch
In terms of technical levels, if USD/CAD breaks above 1.2000 (psychological level) next resistances are seen at 1.2048 (Apr 30 2009 high) and 1.2075 (Apr 27 2009 low). On the other hand, supports are seen at 1.1825 (Jan 13 low) and 1.1803/00 (Jan 9 low/psychological level).
