Forex Strategy: USD/CAD Faces Another Test of Critical 1.1000 Handle




Talking Points



  • USD/CAD Technical Strategy: longs preferred


  • Psychologically-significant 1.1000 handle acting to support prices


  • Hammer on daily failed to receive confirmation


The Hammer candlestick on the daily chart has failed to receive confirmation which puts doubt on the potential for a USD/CAD bounce. However, the psychologically-significant 1.1000 handle remains noteworthy support that may prompt some hesitation amongst the bears.
