[ANNOUNCE]The main move on the USD/CAD on Wednesday occurred due to the Bank of Canada hiking their base interest rate. Namely, a hike from 1.25% to 1.50% caused a strengthening of the Canadian currency. [/ANNOUNCE]

The event was covered on the bank's live webinar platform, and the traders present caught an initial move of 50 base points that eventually extended into a 70 base point decline until the rate met with dominant support. 

Namely, a support line drawn just before the data release coverage by Dukascopy Analytics turned out to be strong enough to support the currency exchange rate.
