The Bank of Canada's decision at 1400GMT yesterday to increase the overnight rate from 0.75% to 1.00% disrupted all technical predictions about the pair's movement late on Wednesday and today. 

Even though the massive 1.67% plunge pushed all indicators in the strongly bearish territory that should have resulted in a recovery, downside risks still managed to prevail and locate the US Dollar slightly below the 1.22 level mid-Thursday. 

The following 24 hours should mark the expected recovery from this two-year low against the Canadian Dollar. The scope of this recovery is yet unclear; however, possible upside targets are located at the 55– and 100-hour SMAs circa 1.2340.
