Uptrend, momentum pausing · RSI 57 · price 1.40129

HH/HL chain off the 1.3942 London low; Asia consolidating above 1.4000.

Firmer USD after the jobless claims beat carried USD/CAD through the 1.4000 round number in NY hours, peaking at the 1.4024 session high. Early Asia is holding a tight 1.4010–1.4018 band: the rollover low has held twice on the rising trendline, the Asia high caps it, and RSI(14) has cooled to ~57.

Support: 1.40098, 1.4000, 1.39802

Resistance: 1.40183, 1.40237

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.4010 rollover low breaks the rising trendline and exposes the 1.4000 round number
  • Loss of 1.4000 brings the NY rally fib 38.2% (~1.3993) and the 1.3980 NY pullback into view
  • Close above the 1.4018 Asia high reopens a test of the 1.4024 session high
  • Fed's Williams at 09:30 UTC, then US and Canada jobs at 13:30 UTC, could materially shift this read

23:31 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 56 · price 1.40104

HH/HL chain off the Asian low; shallow pullback toward broken 1.4000.

USD/CAD rallied about 80 pips off the Asian low at 1.3942 and cleared the 1.4000 round number in late NY as USD recovered on the claims beat and hawkish Fed talk, printing a session high at 1.4024. Post-rollover the pair has eased to 1.4010, sitting just under the 1.4018 late high, with the rally trendline converging on the round number near 1.4000. RSI(14) has cooled to about 56.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3981

Resistance: 1.4018, 1.4024

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 1.4000 round number and rally trendline undoes the breakout
  • Loss of the 1.3981 swing low breaks the intraday HL chain
  • Close above the 1.4018 late high and 1.4024 session high resumes the HH sequence
  • Fed's Williams at 09:30 UTC and simultaneous US and Canada jobs data at 13:30 UTC Fri could materially shift this read

23:16 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 69 · price 1.40182

HH/HL chain above 1.3981, 1.4000 cap broken.

The rally from the London low at 1.3942 accelerated at the NY open after the jobless claims beat (189K) and cleared the 1.4000 round number, topping at a 1.4024 session high late in NY. In early Asia, a thin rollover dip to 1.4011 was bought back to 1.4018. The HH/HL chain remains intact above the 1.3981 swing low, with RSI(14) near 69.

Support: 1.40113, 1.4000, 1.39808

Resistance: 1.40237

What it said to watch

  • A close back below the 1.4000 round number, where the rising trendline also sits, would mark a false break of the cap
  • Loss of the 1.3981 swing low breaks the HH/HL chain and puts price at the 50% retracement of the day rally fib
  • Holding above the 1.4011 rollover low keeps the Asian range above the broken cap
  • A push through the 1.4024 session high extends the NY leg
  • Fed's Williams (09:30 UTC) and the simultaneous US and Canada jobs reports (13:30 UTC Fri) could materially shift this read

Higher lows since London open, 1.4000 broken in NY.

USDCAD climbed from the 1.3942 London-open low through the 1.4000 round number during NY hours, peaking at the 1.4024 session high as USD clawed back losses on the claims beat and hawkish Fed talk. Price sits near 1.4015 in thin early-Asia trade after the rollover, with RSI(14) cooling to 68. The rising trendline off the 1.3981 swing low is intact.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3981

Resistance: 1.40237

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 1.4000 round number would turn the NY breakout into a false break
  • Loss of the 1.3981 swing low and the rising trendline breaks the higher-low chain
  • Clearance of the 1.4024 session high resumes the NY leg; the fib retracement levels mark pullback depth if it stalls

Higher highs and higher lows since the 1.3942 London low; 1.4000 broken.

USDCAD rose about 80 pips off the 1.3942 London low during NY hours. The NY leg cleared the 1.4000 round number and printed a 1.4024 session high at 21:00 UTC as the USD extended its rebound on firm labour data. Price is holding 1.4013 in thin post-rollover Asia trade, with RSI(14) easing below 70 and the 38.2% NY leg fib near 1.3993 sitting just under the round number.

Support: 1.4000, 1.39808

USDCAD climbed about 80 pips from the 1.3942 London-open low through the 1.4000 round number, topping at a 1.4024 session high late in NY hours as USD recovered on firm claims data and hawkish Fed talk. Buyers stepped in twice at the 1.3981 swing low during the NY pullback, close to the 50% fib of the day's range and on the rising trendline. Price is now drifting at 1.4013 in thin post-rollover trade, with RSI(14) cooling to about 60.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3981

Resistance: 1.4024

HH/HL chain off the London low, holding above 1.4000 after the late-NY break.

USDCAD cleared the 1.3977 Asian range high on the 13:30 UTC jobless claims beat. A higher-low chain from the 1.3942 London low then carried price through the 1.4000 cap after a 1.3980–1.4005 NY-afternoon consolidation. Thin post-NY trade is holding just under the 1.4024 session high, with the 1.4005 prior high and the rising trendline below, RSI(14) at 67 and ATR near 6.5 pips.

  • A close above the 1.4024 session high opens extension of the post-claims rally leg

21:46 UTC

Uptrend, extended into late NY · RSI 76 · price 1.40196

Higher highs and higher lows since the London low, holding above 1.4000.

London printed the 1.3942 low before a steady climb. NY extended it after the claims beat, and the 1.4000 round number gave way in late NY to a 1.4024 session high. The 1.3981 swing low held twice on the pullbacks, and RSI(14) at about 76 sits hot as the bar heads into the Asia session.

Higher-low chain after NY breakout above Asian high and the 1.4000 cap.

London false break of the Asian low at the 1.3942 day low reversed. NY then cleared the Asian high near 1.3977, and after-hours extension took out the 1.4000 cap and the 1.4005 prior high to a 1.4024 session high, with USD recovering on the claims and productivity beats plus hawkish Fed talk. RSI(14) sits near 71 with ATR around 6.5 pips, and the day rally is held up by a higher-low chain from the 1.3980 swing low.

NY session carried USDCAD roughly 80 pips off the 1.3942 London-open low. Price cleared the 16:00 UTC prior high at 1.4005 and the 1.4000 round number, then printed a 1.4024 session high, with higher lows at 1.3964 and the 1.3981 swing low intact. The USD recovery on the claims beat and hawkish Fed talk is driving the move, and RSI(14) near 77 is stretched but consistent with the trend.

Resistance: 1.40237, 1.4050

Asia faded to a 1.3942 low into London open before a steady London rally took out the Asian range high near 1.3973 as USD recovered on the claims beat and hawkish Fed talk. NY held a double low at 1.3980–1.3981, then late NY pushed through the 1.4000 round number to a 1.4013 session high, with RSI(14) near 75 and the move riding a rising support line.

Support: 1.4000, 1.39805

HH/HL chain from London low, breakout above 1.4000.

A late-NY push cleared the 1.4000 handle and the 1.4005 prior high to print a 1.4012 session high. That extends the HH/HL chain from the 1.3942 London low as USD recovered on the jobless claims beat. Higher lows at 1.3964 and the 1.3981 swing low are holding the rising trendline, with RSI(14) near 73: hot but not stretched.

Support: 1.4005, 1.3981, 1.3964

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 1.4005 prior high and 1.4000 would mark the breakout as a false break

  • Rejection at the 1.4012 session high in thin post-NY trade would leave a double-tap near 1.4000–1.4012
  • US NFP and Canada jobs at Fri 13:30 UTC (Williams 09:30 UTC earlier) could materially shift this read

A London-NY transition rally took USDCAD out of the Asian range and up to a 1.4005 session high, where the 1.4000 psych level capped it as USD recovered on the claims beat. The pullback held the 1.3980 swing low, the 38.2% retrace, twice. Late NY price is pressing the 1.3999 recent high again with RSI(14) near 56.

The pullback held the 1.3980 swing low near the 38.2% fib, and price is consolidating under the 1.3993 prior high late in NY hours with RSI(14) at 57.

Support: 1.3980, 1.3964, 1.3942

Resistance: 1.3993, 1.4005

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3980 swing low breaks the higher-low chain and exposes the 1.3964 pullback low
  • Close above the 1.4005 session high clears the 1.4000 cap and the 1.3990 wedge-top area cited in the digest
  • Repeated failure at the 1.3993 prior high keeps price compressed beneath 1.4000
  • Fed's Williams at 09:30 UTC Fri, then simultaneous US NFP and Canada jobs at 13:30 UTC Fri, could materially shift this read
  • A drop back toward the london low would bring the move back inside the Asian range

Higher lows off the Asian low, false break above 1.4000, lower highs since.

USD paring election losses after the firm claims print carried USDCAD out of the 1.3943–1.3973 Asian range through the NY session. A brief push through 1.4000 psych was rejected at the 1.4005 session high. The pullback after London close has held the 61.8% fib of the NY leg near 1.3980, with lower highs at 1.3989 capping and RSI(14) neutral around 54.

USDCAD broke the 1.3977 prior high at the 13:30 UTC open on the US claims and productivity beat, then stalled at 1.4000 with a rejection off the 1.40052 session high. Late in the NY session, after London close, the pullback is holding the 1.3980 swing low near the 38.2% retracement of the 1.39422 session low to session high move. RSI(14) has cooled to the mid-50s.

Higher lows since London open; pullback after 1.4005 rejection.

USD/CAD rallied about 60 pips off the 1.3942 London-open low after the 13:30 UTC US claims (189K) and productivity beats lifted USD. It broke the Asian range and the 1.3977 prior high, tagged the 1.4000 round number at a 1.4005 session high, then met rejection. Price has slipped back to 1.3982, testing the 1.3980 swing low and the 38.2% rally retrace, with RSI(14) cooled to about 55 and price holding just above EMA20.

  • Losing the 1.3964 swing low would undo the London-NY advance structure.
  • A recovery through the 1.3993 ny highs puts the 1.4005 session high and the 1.4000 psych back in play.

Higher lows through NY, first rejection at session high.

USD strength after the 189K jobless claims beat drove a 60-pip NY rally off the 1.3942 day low, clearing Wednesday's 1.3977 high on a chain of higher lows (1.3964 ny pivot, 1.3980 swing low). Supply capped the 1.4000 psych area, and the 1.4005 session high printed a rejection that pushed price back under the 1.3993 prior high, with RSI(14) cooling to 61.

HH/HL chain from the London-open low; NY broke above the prior high.

Late in the NY session, price sits at the 1.4000 round number. The leg started with the London-open sweep of the Asian low at 1.3942 and has kept higher lows along rising support. The NY-open claims beat (189K) broke the 1.3977 prior high, and the 1.3980 swing low held around Macklem's 15:30 UTC remarks before a 1.4005 session high, with RSI(14) near 69.

The 13:30 UTC jobless claims beat lifted the pair out of the 1.3942–1.3960 London range and through the prior high near 1.3977. A higher-low line then carried it to a 1.3995 session high during Macklem's 15:30 UTC speech. 1.3993 capped three tests before the late push, RSI(14) near 65 is firm but not stretched, and the 1.4000 round number sits just overhead.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 1.4000 round number extends the higher-high chain past the session high
  • Loss of the 1.3980 swing low and the higher-low line exposes the 38.2% fib of the London low-high move near 1.3975, then the pre-data low at 1.3964
  • A break back below the 1.3964 pre-data low returns price to the London range above the 1.3942 london low

NY carried the pair through the Asian range and yesterday's 1.3977 prior high as the USD rebounded on the 189K claims print, with the push extending through Macklem's 15:30 UTC remarks. Supply has capped 1.3993–1.3995 on repeated tests into the session high just under the 1.4000 round number; RSI(14) near 64 is firm but not stretched.

Higher lows since London open; NY broke above yesterday's prior high.

USD recovered on the 189K claims beat and productivity print, reversing the Asian-session slide. The 1.3942 London low held, and the rising trendline carried NY through yesterday's 1.3977 prior high to a 1.3993 session high, at the 1.3990 wedge top flagged in the CAD digest. RSI(14) is near 68, and the session-high wick shows supply capping just under the 1.4000 round number.

Resistance: 1.3993, 1.4000

  • Macklem speaks at 15:30 UTC; a softer tone on growth or hike timing could extend the push toward the 1.4000 round number.
  • An M15 close back below the 1.3977 prior high would turn the breakout into a false break and expose the 1.3964 ny low, the 50% retracement of the London-NY rally.

London open swept the Asian range low to a 1.3942 session low, near the seven-week low in the CAD digest, and reversed as USD recovered on strong US data.

London HH/HL chain capped at 61.8% retrace.

The Asia session drifted from the 1.3973 asian high to a 1.3942 session low on continued USD selling. From there, London built a higher-low chain as the dollar pared losses in European trade.

USDCAD slid through Asia from the 1.3978 overnight high as broad USD selling continued, then made a false break below the Asian low to the 1.3942 London low at the open. Late London has built higher lows along a rising trendline under the 1.3960 session high, which is also the 50% fib retrace. Price is sitting on the 38.2% level and the EMA50 near 1.3956.

London opened with a sweep of the Asian low to a 1.3942 session low before buyers stepped in, but the bounce stalled at a 1.3958 session high, in line with the 38.2% fib of the 1.3978 prior high to 1.3942 drop.

USD/CAD bled lower through Asia from the 1.3977 prior high as the USD stayed heavy after the midterm sweep. The London-open dip below the 1.3947 Asian low to a 1.3942 london low was reclaimed within one bar, and price has since chopped between that low and a 1.3958 session high, sitting flat on EMA20 with RSI(14) near 48.

At the London open price swept below the Asian low to a 1.3942 london low and was rejected.

The NY rebound off the 1.3929 Wed low stalled in a double top at 1.3977, and the 1.3962 neckline gave way early in the Asia session as broad post-midterm USD selling resumed. Late Asia shows a run of lower highs capping near 1.3956, with price compressing just above the 1.3947 Asian low, which sits close to the 61.8% fib of the NY rebound.
