Key Quotes
“We caught the early bid tone in USDCAD yesterday but the rapid turn in the market from the 1.3845/50 intraday highs was rather surprising”.
“The weight of net selling left a bearish print on the daily chart (bearish outside range) and places the near-term technical risks clearly on the downside”.
“Trend momentum signals are not necessarily supportive of a significant directional move at this point and we still rather think range trading will prevail”.
“It will be hard to ignore a clear and sustained break under the 1.3650 area, however, as it would suggest another leg lower (towards 1.33) was poised to unfold”.
