USD/CAD Technical Analysis: More upside on the cards above the 1.2900 handle

  • USD/CAD found some decent support at the 1.2900 handle and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from last Thursday low to Friday’s high.
  • If the bulls manage to defend the 1.2900 level they may target the 1.3048 level which is last week’s high. 
  • However, a break below 1.2900 can see a move back down towards 1.2816, last Thursday’s low.
  • Immediate resistance is seen in the 1.2930-1.2950 region with the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages on the 1-hour time frame.
