USDCAD unable to break critical resistance once again

USDCAD made an attempt to break above the 1.3350 resistance we have been talking about in the last few posts. Price got rejected once again and is now trading at 1.3318. This consolidation around 1.33-1.3350 will soon be broken and volatility will rise.

Black rectangle - short-term resistance area

USDCAD is making higher highs and higher lows. But bulls need to break above 1.3350 in order to confirm they are in control of the trend and in order to reach 1.3450 area. Support is at 1.33 and next at 1.32.

On a weekly basis the Ichimoku cloud indicator confirms our view that the important support area is between 1.33-1.32. Price is above both the tenkan- and the kijun-sen while price remains above the weekly Kumo (cloud). All this is supportive of a continuation of the bullish move that started at the June lows. If resistance at 1.3350-1.34 breaks we should see the next leg higher towards 1.3520.
