"The Canadian dollar has been a victim of hawkish interest rate expectations in the United States, lower oil prices and a Bank of Canada that has expressed concern over the outlook for the Canadian economy." 
- LMAX (based on Reuters) 


Pair's Outlook 
The Canadian Dollar continued to lose value against the Greenback, as the currency exchange rate surged higher by the middle of Thursday's trading session. The rate had reached the resistance cluster made up of the weekly R1 at 1.3517 and monthly R2 at 1.3533, which was expected to occur. However, by the middle of the day the pair was squeezed between the two levels of significance. Due to that the exchange rate can either break out to the upside and move to the 50.00% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.3576 or the rate might retreat to the monthly R1, which is located at the 1.3417 mark. 

Traders' Sentiment 
SWFX traders are bearish on the pair, as 66% of open positions are short on Thursday. Meanwhile, trader set up orders are almost neutral, as 51% of orders are set to buy the Buck.
