Pair's Outlook
The initial reaction after USD/CAD touched the trend-line was bullish, but today the Greenback remains under heavy selling pressure, as it failed to recover past the weekly pivot point. Nevertheless, the probability of a rally from 1.3940 remains high. Meanwhile, if the rate does fall under the trend-line, additional demand area is supposed to be near 1.3840 dollars, where the 55-day SMA merges with the weekly S1 level.
Traders' Sentiment
The percentage of long positions in the SWFX market increased, but on the whole the sentiment is neutral—only 53% of open positions are long. The distribution between the buy and sell orders is similar—51% to buy and 49% to sell the US Dollar.
