USD/CAD: Heading for a big figure rise?
FXStreet (Guatemala) - USD/CAD is currently trading at 1.2320 with a high of 1.2349 and a low of 1.2275.
USD/CAD has been consolidating the downside with the price of oil settling around $60 and offering mixed signals. The Canadian dollar has been a little stronger of late while oil looks to settle circa $60 towards the end of the week.
Analysts at TD Securities explained that USD/CAD’s weekly technical picture is not all that brilliant but neither is the outlook that bearish. "Last week’s stall (doji candle) and this week’s turn lower are, on the face of it, potential negatives. But, unless the USD deteriorates significantly over the balance of the session, the absence of a low weekly close lessens the import of the signals we think.
USD/CAD base at 1.19000 in bull trend
"We still rather view the rebound from the low 1.19 area as an important longer-term base building exercise ahead of the next (possibly final) leg higher in the USD in this phase. But the risk is we chop around between 1.21/1.25 in the next few weeks before the USD really picks up," explained the analysts at TD Securities.
