During the past 24 hours, the US Dollar has been dashing through various support/resistance levels, testing their boundaries for several hours but nevertheless failing to show any distinctive direction.
The combined US/Canadian data release changed drastically this lack of movement. Even though Canada's CPI was in line with expectations, solid US building permits initiated a buying spree for the US Dollar. As a result, the rate surged 40 pips within the first 15 minutes after the release.
As apparent on the chart, the Greenback has been trading in a channel up for the last six sessions. It is likely that the rate continues to move upwards after a minor correction south. This would in turn breach this junior channel and allow the Greenback to approach the weekly R2 at 1.2880.
