USD/CAD was trading in a narrow range on Thursday morning. The situation changed mid-session when the positive impact of the US CPI data at 1230GMT initiated a buying spree for bulls. As a result, the rate was pushed above a significant resistance cluster formed by the monthly S2, the weekly PP, the 200-hour SMA and the 23.6% Fibo.
This upside momentum, however, was short-lived, as the rate fell below the pressure of the aforementioned resistance and returned at the lower channel boundary. Technical indicators suggest that a further decline is likely. In case the US Dollar depreciates, no barriers are restricting this decrease until the 2.5-year low at 1.2067 is reached.
Nevertheless, the Greenback could fall below the bottom channel line, but it should eventually re-test the 55– and 100-hour SMAs.
