USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Breaking to weekly lows below 1.3100 level

  • USD/CAD broke below the 1.3120 support and 1.3100 figure ahead of the Trump-Juncker meeting at 17:30 GMT which can affect USD-realted pairs. The EIA crude oil stocks change at 14:30 GMT can also have an effect on CAD oil-correlated currency.
  • USD/CAD is trading below all its main simple moving averages (50, 100 and 200 SMA) suggesting a bearish bias. 
  • The next targets to the downside are likely located near the 1.3066-1.3053 area, the July 9 low and June 5 swing high. Resistances to the upside are the 1.3100 figure and the 1.3120 resistance level.
