USD/CAD revisiting lows near 1.1160

FXstreet.com (Edinburgh) - The USD upside is now taking a breather, with the USD/CAD drifting to session lows in the 1.1160/55 region.

USD/CAD weaker after hitting multi-year peaks

The pair kept pushing higher post-FOMC decision on Wednesday, advancing to fresh multi-year highs just a pip away from the critical 1.1200 overnight. However, the pair started a correction lower since then, dropping to 1.1150 during the European afternoon. “The overall bull trend remains very strong on the daily studies and we look for limited weakness in USDCAD from here as a result. Trend channel support at 1.1127 on the daily chart should hold modest corrective pressure for the moment”.

At the time of writing, the pair is down 0.17% at 1.1156 with the immediate support at 1.1103 (low Jan.29) ahead of 1.1078 (low Jan.28) and then 1.1048 (10-d MA).
