Talking Points:



  • USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat


  • Support: 1.0828 (double bottom?)


  • Resistance: 1.0892 (trend line), 1.0923 (23.6% Fib ret.), 1.0941 (May 21 high)


The US Dollar may be in the process of setting a double bottom against its Canadian counterpart above the 1.08 figure. A daily close above falling trend line resistance (now at 1.0892) exposes 1.0923, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. This is swiftly followed by the May 21 high at 1.0941. Near-term support lines up at 1.0828, the May 8 close.



Prices are too close to resistance to justify a long position from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a confirmed bearish reversal signal warns against taking up the short side. Wewill remain flat for now.
