  • Demand destruction leaves crude oil muted.

The ripple effect has seen money markets price the fedthe next higher rate decision with a 100 basis point call gaining traction.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

USD/CAD DAILY CHART

Please add a description for the image.

Chart prepared by Warren Venketas, GI

Paction of rice on the daily chart USD/CAD is trading at a key inflection point (long-term channel resistance) reaching higher highs. On the contrary, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reflects the slowing up momentum (red), thus suggesting a bearish divergence. Traditionally, bearish divergence indicates an impending decline, but in the current fundamental backdrop, it’s hard to see that happening in the near term. A confirmatory close/breakout above the ascending channel will invalidate this bearish indication, especially with markets expecting a 100 basis point Fed rate hike.

Key resistance levels:

Main support levels:

  • 1.0327 (382.% Fibonacci)
  • 20 days EMA (purple)
