USDCAD breaks the range

Last week we noted in our analysis that USDCAD got rejected once again at the important short-term resistance of 1.3355 and that soon we should expect a rise in volatility by a break out of the 1.33-1.3355 range. The range was broken downwards.

Black rectangle- resistance

Blue lines - long-term bullish channel

In our previous post we said that below 1.33 we expect price to test the next support level of 1.32. And so it did happen as price broke 1.33, has managed to fall as low as 1.3170. Price respects thus far the long-term bullish channel and the September lows. Holding above these two points of interest is key for the longer-term trend of USDCAD.
