The USD/CAD pair maintained its offered tone through the early European session and was last seen hovering near daily lows, around the 1.2475-70 region. The US Dollar declined by 38 pips or 0.30% against the Canadian Dollar on Thursday. The USD/CAD currency pair found support at 1.2476 during yesterday's trading session.
From a technical perspective, the USD/CAD pair, so far, has been struggling to register any meaningful recovery or find acceptance above the 1.2500 psychological mark. This, in turn, suggests that the bearish pressure might still be far from being over. A subsequent fall below the 1.2460 region (weekly lows) will add credence to the negative outlook and set the stage for further weakness.
If the exchange rate breaks the support level at 1.2460, bearish traders are likely to pressure the price lower towards the 1.2420 area during the following trading sessionHowever, if the support line holds, the currency exchange rate might aim for the 1.2580 area today.
