AUD/CAD capped below 0.9450 on Aussie weakness

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The AUD/CAD foreign exchange cross rate is last quoted near session lows at 0.9420 bids, off recent session highs at 0.9450, down -0.83% for the week so far mostly due to Aussie weakness.

AUD/CAD bounce is over

“AUD/CAD failed to make much progress through the 0.9500/50 area in the past few days (40-day MA signal and initial, 23.6% retracement resistance of the 1.07/0.92 drop),” said the TD Securities Toronto based FX Research Team, adding: “Heavy losses yesterday overall (bearish dark cloud cover candle) may, in fact signal that the recent correction is over. Modest gains to the 0.95 area look a sell now with stops above 0.9545.”
