USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Bulls manage to defend weekly lows, only for the time being
• The pair tumbled around 50-pips in a knee-jerk reaction to hotter-than-expected Canadian consumer inflation figures, albeit managed to defend weekly lows.
• However, the fact that the pair is now trading below important intraday moving averages - 50, 100 & 200-hour SMA, suggests reemergence of near-term bearish pressure.
USD/CAD 1-hourly chart
• Technical indicators on hourly charts have been gaining negative momentum and remain in the bearish territory on the daily chart, adding credence to the negative outlook.
• Hence, a follow-through weakness, even below weekly lows support and the 1.3200 handle, towards challenging 100-day SMA strong support, now looks a distinct possibility.
