21:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 50 · price 1.40446

Lower highs, basing near 1.3990.

Downtrend intact on H4 with a chain of lower highs from the early-month 1.4225 peak; price rolled over below the 1.4110 barrier to a six-week low near 1.3990, where it has since been basing between 1.4000 and 1.4055. CAD stayed on the back foot as tumbling oil outweighed the Canadian GDP beat, while a firm USD on the hawkish-Fed regime keeps the pair supported. ATR(14) sits in a moderate regime as the recent leg stalls above the 1.3990 floor.

Support: 1.3995, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4055, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4055 then 1.4110 breaks the lower-high structure
  • Failure to hold 1.3990 confirms a fresh lower low
  • US ADP/ISM Services Wed and Canada jobs Fri are the next catalysts for this read

21:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 48 · price 1.40446

Lower highs into 1.3995, now ranging.

USDCAD has trended lower off the 1.4222 high, printing successive lower highs as tumbling oil met a firm USD, and based near 1.3995 before stabilising. Price is now compressing in a 1.4000–1.4058 range with EMA20 flattening beneath EMA50, a bearish cross that keeps the broader tilt heavy. ATR(14) near 29 pips reflects a mid-range regime after the drop to the swing low.

Support: 1.39948, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.40583, 1.4111, 1.41284

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3995 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence
  • Reclaim of 1.4058 range top opens the path toward the 1.4110 barrier
  • Canada jobs Fri and US ISM Services/ADP this week could reset this range read

17:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 47 · price 1.40412

Lower highs, stabilizing above 1.4000.

USDCAD has trended lower since the early-window 1.4226 high, printing a chain of lower highs into a six-week low near 1.3991/1.3995 as sliding crude and firm Canadian GDP weighed. Price is now basing above the 1.4000 psychological line, with the recent bounce reclaiming EMA20 but capped below EMA50 around 1.4055. ATR has eased off the drop-bar spike, pointing to compression after the leg down.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3991

Resistance: 1.4055, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3991 confirms a fresh lower-low
  • Reclaim of 1.4110 breaks the lower-high structure
  • ADP Wed and Canada jobs/US NFP Friday could reset this read

17:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 49 · price 1.40412

Lower highs, lower lows; stabilising above 1.4000.

USDCAD has trended lower across the window, printing lower highs and a six-week low near 1.3995 as sliding oil pressured CAD but a firm USD and the 1.4000 psychological floor absorbed the move. Price has since coiled in a tight 1.4010-1.4090 band, reclaiming EMA20 while capped below EMA50; ATR(14) has compressed off the sell-off's peak. The 1.4000/1.3995 shelf is the pivot for the broader down-leg.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3995

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4130

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 breaks the lower-highs sequence
  • Failure to hold 1.4000 confirms a lower low toward 1.3995
  • Canada jobs + US NFP Fri could reset this range

13:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 44 · price 1.40288

Lower highs, basing above 1.3995.

Multi-day downtrend intact since the early-window 1.4237 high, with price rolling under the 1.405 shelf and printing a two-week low at 1.3995 before basing in a tight 1.3995-1.4050 band. ATR(14) has compressed off the drop as USDCAD grinds in a 1.40-1.41 range, caught between a hawkish-Fed USD bid and a softer oil-driven Loonie. Price trades below both EMA20 and EMA50, keeping the structural tilt lower.

Support: 1.3995, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110, 1.41284

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3995 confirms a fresh lower low
  • Reclaim of 1.4050 range top opens the path back to 1.4110
  • US ISM today and Canada jobs Fri could break the 1.40-1.41 range

13:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum flattening · RSI 45 · price 1.40288

Lower highs/lows into 1.40 range base.

USDCAD has trended lower for three weeks, printing sequential lower highs and lower lows from 1.4237 into the 1.3990 two-week low, with CAD pressured by sliding oil against a hawkish Fed hold. Price is now grinding in a 1.4000-1.4110 range, holding below both EMAs, and ATR(14) has compressed as the selloff stalls. Demand stepped in twice around the 1.40 handle, keeping the base intact.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3990

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110, 1.4128

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3990 confirms lower-low continuation
  • H4 close above 1.4110 breaks the range top
  • US ISM today 14:00 UTC and Canada jobs Fri could shift this read

09:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 46 · price 1.40422

Lower highs into a range base near 1.4000.

USDCAD has trended lower for three weeks, rolling from 1.4235 to a six-week low at 1.3991 as the dollar sold off on soft US GDP/PCE and suspected Japanese FX intervention. Since that low the pair has consolidated in a tight 1.4000-1.4110 band, with sliding oil capping CAD strength and keeping price pinned. ATR(14) around 41 pips reflects a compressing, range-bound regime rather than trend extension.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3991

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.4000/1.3991 confirms a fresh lower-low
  • H4 close above 1.4110 range top negates the compression read
  • ISM Manufacturing today and Canada jobs Fri could break the range

09:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum flattening · RSI 47 · price 1.40422

Consolidating above six-week low after multi-week decline.

USDCAD has drifted lower for the better part of three weeks, sliding from 1.4235 to a six-week low at 1.3990 as a soft USD backdrop weighed. Price has since stabilised into a tight 1.4000-1.4110 range, with buyers stepping in twice near the 1.4000 psych level. ATR is moderate and EMAs remain compressed, consistent with the range read rather than fresh trend.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3990

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 range high invalidates the consolidation read
  • Failure to hold 1.4000 psych opens the 1.3990 six-week low
  • US ISM today and Canada jobs Friday could materially shift this range

05:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum easing near lows · RSI 44 · price 1.40331

Lower highs / lower lows, basing at 1.40.

USDCAD has trended lower through the window, printing lower highs from the 1.42s and grinding into the 1.40 handle as strong Canadian GDP kept CAD firm. Price swept the 1.3991 two-week low before recovering back above 1.4000, and now consolidates in a tight 1.400-1.403 band with ATR compressing. EMA20 sits below EMA50, confirming the bearish structure into the recovery.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3990

Resistance: 1.4059

What it said to watch

  • Sustained close below 1.3990 confirms continuation of the lower-low sequence
  • Reclaim of 1.4059 would challenge the descending lower-high structure
  • Canadian jobs Fri could materially shift this read

05:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum flattening · RSI 44 · price 1.40331

Lower highs into 1.40, coiling above two-week low.

Price has trended lower since the 1.42 area, printing a fresh two-week low at 1.3991 before stabilising just above the 1.4000 psychological pivot. ATR(14) has compressed as the pair coils between 1.4000 support and the 1.4110 barrier, with CAD underpinned by the firm Q2 GDP beat but capped by the hawkish Fed hold. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, keeping the broader tilt lower.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3991

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4128

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3991 confirms a lower low and reopens downside
  • Reclaim of 1.4110 breaks the consolidation and unwinds the lower-high sequence
  • Canadian jobs Fri 12:30 GMT could materially shift this read

01:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 43 · price 1.40164

Lower highs, 1.40 floor holding.

USDCAD has rolled over from the early-window 1.4238 high in a sequence of lower highs, printing a six-week low near 1.3990 before basing. The 1.4000 psychological floor and 1.3991 low have held twice, with Canada's GDP beat failing to force a break, leaving price compressed in a 1.4000-1.4110 band. Momentum is soft below EMA20/EMA50 but ATR has cooled, consistent with range consolidation rather than fresh trend extension.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3991

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3991 confirms a lower low and opens the range floor
  • Reclaim of 1.4110 needed to challenge the descending highs
  • US ISM Manufacturing today 14:00 UTC could force a break of the 1.4000-1.4110 band

01:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 43 · price 1.40164

Lower highs, testing 1.40 floor.

USDCAD remains in a multi-week downtrend, grinding out lower highs since the 1.4238 area and pinned into the 1.40-1.41 range. The dip below 1.4000 to 1.3990 was recovered, leaving a false-break tail as the Canadian GDP beat failed to force a clean break; price now sits back above the round number. Both EMAs cap from above and ATR is compressed, consistent with range-bound behaviour near the lows.

Support: 1.3990, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110, 1.4126

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3990 confirms a fresh lower low
  • H4 close above 1.4110 breaks the range top
  • US ISM Manufacturing today 14:00 UTC could shift this read
  • Canada jobs Fri Aug 7 is the next range catalyst
