USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat

Support: 1.1858, 1.1801, 1.1744

Resistance: 1.1928, 1.2042, 1.2156
The US Dollar appears poised to extend above 1.19 above its Canadian counterpart but doubts about upside follow-through remain. Near-term resistance is at 1.1928, the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 100% level at 1.2042. Negative RSI divergence warns of ebbing upside momentum however. A turn back below the 61.8% Fib at 1.1858 clears the way for a test of the 50% expansion at 1.1801.
Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear-cut and actionable signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on the sidelines for the time being, waiting for a compelling opportunity to present itself.
