USD/CAD is expected to continue its upside movement. The pair is holding on the upside after today's upward acceleration due to better than expected data. The rising 50-period moving average is playing a support role. The relative strength index stands firmly above its neutrality level at 50 and lacks downward momentum. Therefore, as long as 1.2975 is not broken, look for a new challenge with targets at 1.3125 and 1.3160 in extension.
