Pair's Outlook
The Greenback attempted to reach the weekly PP, but quickly recovered after hawkish Fed officials' statements and renewed hopes of a rate hike this year. Due to a broadly strong US Dollar and falling oil prices, the USD/CAD is expected to appreciate for the another day today. Immediate resistance rests out of reach around 1.3325, namely the Bollinger band, weekly and monthly R1s; however, the Buck has not seen this high since August. At the same time, the 20-day SMA is supporting the US currency from below, but is unlikely to hold the pair in case of backfire.
Traders' Sentiment
Now 70% of all positions are short (previously 73%), whereas the share of sell commands increased from 56 to 61%.
