USD/CAD pivots around 1.33 after failing to hold break under the figure. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s technical outlook.
The snap higher in the USD back through the 1.3320/30 area from yesterday’s intraday low will undermine the USD/CAD bear trend. The technical jury is still out on that, however, with the USD rebound faltering in the mid-1.33 zone and running into steady selling pressure on minor gains.
Bearish trend momentum remains quite intense, preventing a stronger USD recovery at this point and keeping directional risks tilted to the downside.
The USD needs to regain (and hold) 1.3395/00 to stabilize.
Support is 1.3270 and 1.3225.
