Pair's Outlook
The currency pair is presently well-positioned to trim its prior gains since September 14, being unable to continue its advancement above 0.9859/64. In order to confirm bearish intentions, USD/CAD should violate 0.9806/0.9798, this is turn will allow the price to go as low as 0.9717 or even 0.9678/70 in light of absence of any notable supports nearby.
Traders' SentimentTraders continue to favour the greenback over the loonie, being that 64% of positions on USD/CAD are long and 36% are short. Besides, buy orders, the share of which is currently 64%, should provide considerable support if the pair fails to step higher and starts to lose ground instead.
