USD/CAD tests 0.9863

The rising support trend-line the market has been respecting since the beginning of autumn is under threat of being breached, as a strong rebound from 0.9934/36 has swiftly pierced through a number of supports. A line in the sand at 0.9863 remains intact for now, though the possibility of a subsequent area being exposed, namely 0.9837/13, has substantially increased.

There are currently almost twice as many long positions (66%) in the market as there are short ones (34%) on USD/CAD in the SWFX marketplace. The situation is quite different for pending orders, where 47% of traders have intentions to buy the greenback and 53% wish to trade it for the loonie.
