After breaching the upper boundary of the senior channel on Tuesday, the USD/CAD made a rebound against the given line and the 55-hour SMA circa 1.2660.  

The market sentiment shifted significantly mid-Wednesday. The Loonie fell 129 pips against the US Dollar in the wake of Bank of Canada's decision to keep its key interest rate target on hold. 

As a result of this surge, the junior ascending channel was likewise breached. The rate's subsequent movement showed lack of volatility to leave a narrow trading range near the 1.2820 mark. 

Technical indicators suggest that the US Dollar might remain near its mid-Thursday level, thus being located between the monthly and weekly R2s.
