Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 35 · price 1.41388

Lower highs from 1.4173 and 1.4164, late-NY retest of the 1.4134 session low.

USDCAD sold off from the 1.4198 Asian high through London as lower yields kept USD heavy. NY spiked to a 1.4134 session low after the NY high at 1.4173. The bounce stalled at the 1.4164 swing high, and price faded into the Friday close to retest the session low, back inside the ~1.4140 fair-value area. The former London low at 1.4145 now caps price.

Support: 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.41643, 1.41728

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 1.4134 session low extends the lower-low sequence
  • Reclaim of the 1.4145 london low, then the falling trendline near 1.4164 swing high, breaks the lower-high chain
  • Weekend gap risk at the open; Canada CPI Mon 12:30 UTC (core vs ~1.9%) could materially shift this read
  • Break above the 1.4173 ny high invalidates the intraday downtrend read

Downtrend, lower highs and lower lows intact · RSI 33 · price 1.41378

London broke below the Asian range; late-NY lower high now retesting the 1.4134 low.

London broke below the 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range and stepped lower through the day. Falling US yields and a firm CAD pushed NY to a 1.4134 low. The rebound stalled at the 1.4164 swing high, extending the chain of lower highs, and late NY has faded back below the 1.4145 London low to retest the NY low, with RSI(14) near 33.

Support: 1.4134, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.4164

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.4134 NY low extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.4100 round number
  • Recovery above the 1.4145 London low and through the lower-highs trendline near the 1.4164 swing high would neutralise the downtrend read
  • Weekly close is under an hour away. Thin late-Friday liquidity and IMF weekend headlines raise gap risk
  • Canada Sep CPI on Mon 12:30 GMT is the next scheduled catalyst for this structure

19:46 UTC

Downtrend, late-NY fade · RSI 36 · price 1.41436

Lower highs from Asia, retesting London low.

London broke the 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range lower and NY extended to a 1.4134 ny low, with CAD firmed by softer Treasury yields and firmer oil. The bounce stalled at a 1.4164 lower high near the 78.6% of the drop from the 1.4173 swing high and at the descending trendline. Price has faded after London close and is now pressing just under the 1.4145 london low.

Support: 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.4164, 1.4173

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.4164 lower high and the descending trendline breaks the lower-high chain
  • Failure to hold the 1.4134 ny low confirms a fresh lower low into the weekly close
  • Holding below the 1.4145 london low turns it into a cap on any late-session bounce
  • Weekend IMF headlines and Monday's Canada CPI carry gap risk for this read

19:31 UTC

Downtrend, late-NY drift lower · RSI 38 · price 1.41475

Lower highs since 1.4164 rebound high, pressing London low.

USD/CAD broke below the 1.4171 Asian range low in London. The NY drop from the 1.4173 ny open high printed a 1.4134 session low as softer US yields and firmer oil weighed on the dollar. The bounce met rejection at the 1.4164 rebound high, and late-NY lower highs have price back on the 1.4145 London low, with RSI(14) near 38 and not stretched.

Support: 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.41643, 1.41728

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.4145 London low exposes the 1.4134 session low
  • Recovery above the 1.4164 rebound high breaks the lower-highs sequence; the 1.4173 ny open high sits above
  • Friday close into thin liquidity: IMF weekend headlines and Monday's Canada CPI (12:30 GMT) could open the week with a gap

19:16 UTC

Downtrend, rebound fading · RSI 44 · price 1.41521

Lower highs from 1.4173; late NY drifting back from the 1.4164 lower high toward the late NY low.

London broke below the 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range. NY extended to a 1.4134 day low as a softer USD and firm oil kept CAD bid, but the rebound stalled at 1.4164, a lower high under the 1.4173 NY open high. Into the Friday close, price is slipping back toward the 1.4148 late NY low, with RSI(14) at 44 and price below both EMAs.

Support: 1.4148, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4164, 1.4173

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.4134 day low extends the lower-low sequence
  • Close above the 1.4164 lower high breaks the descending trendline and puts the 1.4173 NY open high in play
  • Rejection at 1.4164 held so far; a hold above the 1.4148 late ny low keeps price mid-rebound on the fib
  • Weekend IMF headlines and Monday's Canada CPI (12:30 GMT) could gap or materially shift this read at the open

19:04 UTC

Downtrend, late-NY rebound fading · RSI 44 · price 1.41521

Lower highs from 1.4164 after 1.4134 day low; Asian range broken lower.

USD/CAD broke the 1.4171 asian low at London open and slid to a 1.4134 day low in the NY session. Lower Treasury yields and firmer oil outweighed US industrial production and import price beats. The rebound was rejected twice at the 1.4164 rebound high, and late-Friday trade is back under the ema20 near the 1.4148 late low, the 50% of the rebound fib, with RSI(14) at 44.

Support: 1.4148, 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4164, 1.4171

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.4148 late low and 1.4145 london low (61.8% of the rebound fib) exposes the 1.4134 day low
  • M15 close above the lower highs trendline and 1.4164 rebound high puts the 1.4171 asian low back in play
  • Thin liquidity into the weekly close; Canada Sep CPI Mon 12:30 GMT is the next event that could reset the read

18:46 UTC

Downtrend, NY rebound fading · RSI 49 · price 1.41532

Lower highs below 1.4164 after NY-open low at 1.4134.

USDCAD printed the ny low at 1.4134 in the first hour of NY as falling US yields weighed on the dollar. The rebound stalled at the 1.4164 rebound high, just under the 50% of the Asia-high fib, and late NY has carved lower highs back below the EMA20 with RSI(14) flat near 49. The london low at 1.4145 is the nearest reference below.

Support: 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.41643, 1.41728

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4164 rebound high breaks the lower-highs line and puts the 1.4173 london high in play
  • Failure to hold the 1.4145 london low reopens the 1.4134 ny low
  • Thin late-Friday liquidity after London close; the pending US Budget Statement is the only scheduled print left today
  • Canada CPI on Monday at 12:30 UTC, with core vs ~1.9% the swing factor

18:31 UTC

Downtrend, late-NY pause · RSI 49 · price 1.4156

Lower highs from the Asian high; rebound off the session low capped at 1.4164.

London broke the 1.4171 Asian low, and NY extended the slide to a 1.4134 session low as a soft USD and firmer oil lifted CAD. The rebound was rejected at 1.4164, just under the 50% fib and the descending trendline. Price is now coiling on a 1.4155 range floor after London close, with RSI(14) neutral near 49.

Support: 1.4155, 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4164, 1.4172, 1.4187

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.4155 range floor exposes the 1.4145 London low and the 1.4134 session low
  • Close above the 1.4164 rebound high and the descending trendline opens the 1.4172 Asian low, then the 1.4187 lower high
  • Thin pre-weekend liquidity and IMF headlines Oct 17–18 could distort late-Friday prints

18:16 UTC

Downtrend, late-NY rebound stalling · RSI 62 · price 1.41606

Lower highs from the Asian high; rising lows off a 1.4134 double bottom.

The 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range gave way in London. NY extended the slide to a 1.4134 session low, a double bottom at the two-week CAD high, as a soft USD and firmer oil lifted the loonie. The late-NY rebound has retraced 50% of the London-NY leg on rising lows but is stalling at the 1.4164 rebound high, pinned against the EMA50 near 1.4160.

Support: 1.4155, 1.4143, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4164, 1.4173, 1.4198

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4164 rebound high opens the 1.4173 NY high, the last lower high of the selloff
  • Loss of the 1.4155 higher low breaks the rebound support trendline and exposes the 1.4143 swing low
  • Failure at 1.4134 session low confirms a fresh lower-low and extends the downtrend
  • Thin post-London liquidity into the weekly close; weekend IMF headlines and Monday's Canada CPI could gap this read

18:02 UTC

Downtrend, rebound stalling · RSI 56 · price 1.41606

Lower highs from 1.4198; post-sweep range 1.4155–1.4164.

London broke the 1.4171 Asian low, and the NY open pushed through the 1.4145 London low to a 1.4134 day low as soft USD lifted CAD to two-week highs. The 27-pip rebound has stalled after London close in a 1.4155–1.4164 range. The range top sits just under the EMA50 and the 50% retracement of the day's drop near 1.4166, with RSI(14) neutral at 56.

Support: 1.4155, 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4164, 1.4171

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above 1.4164 range top and the 50% day fib reopens 1.4171, the old Asian low
  • Failure to hold 1.4155 range low exposes the 1.4145 London low and the 1.4134 day low
  • Thin late-Friday NY hours; Canada CPI Mon 12:30 UTC is the next scheduled catalyst

17:46 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce from NY low · RSI 55 · price 1.41601

Lower highs from Asian high; higher lows since session low, capped at 1.4164.

USD/CAD fell from the Asian session high at 1.4198 through London to a session low at 1.4134 in early NY, with falling Treasury yields keeping USD offered. The late-NY rebound has reclaimed the London low and the 38.2% fib of the decline. Higher lows are forming, but the rebound high at 1.4164 has capped twice and price is stalling near EMA50.

Support: 1.41554, 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.41643, 1.41728

What it said to watch

  • Close above the 1.4164 rebound high opens the 1.4173 lower high, near the 61.8% fib of the decline
  • Break of the 1.4155 higher low snaps the higher-low line and puts the London low at 1.4145 and the session low at 1.4134 back in play
  • Friday late-NY liquidity is thinning; Canada Sep CPI Mon 12:30 UTC is the next scheduled catalyst for this read

17:31 UTC

Downtrend, late-NY corrective bounce · RSI 62 · price 1.41624

Lower highs and lower lows from Asia into NY, now higher lows off 1.4134.

London broke below the 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range and NY extended the slide to a 1.4134 day low as the softer USD and lower yields weighed. Price has since put in a higher-low chain, retracing over 61.8% of the 1.4173–1.4134 NY drop, but is stalling at the 1.4164 bounce high around the EMA50.

  • Loss of the 1.4155 higher low breaks the rebound line and exposes the 1.4145 london low, then the 1.4134 day low
  • Thin Friday liquidity after London close; US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC is the only near-term scheduled risk, with Canada CPI not until Mon 12:30 UTC

Intraday downtrend, late-NY bounce stalling · RSI 55 · price 1.41592

Lower highs from Asian high; double bottom at 1.4134 with a higher low at 1.4143.

USD/CAD broke the Asian low near 1.4172 in London and hit a 1.4134 session low after the NY open, as softer US yields weighed on the dollar. Two holds there formed a double bottom and a higher low at 1.4143. The late-NY bounce to 1.4164 was rejected at the falling trendline from the Asian high, with price at the 38.2% fib of the session drop and pinned under EMA50.

Support: 1.41554, 1.41428, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.41643, 1.41715, 1.41984

  • M15 close above the 1.4164 bounce high and falling trendline opens the 1.4172 asian low, near the 61.8% fib
  • Loss of the 1.4155 pullback low exposes the 1.4143 higher low and the 1.4134 session low
  • Only a reclaim of the 1.4198 asian high would unwind the session decline

Downtrend, late-NY bounce off lows · RSI 55 · price 1.41592

Lower highs from Asian peak; rebound capped at descending line.

Lower highs since the Asian peak near 1.4198 as softer US yields weighed on USD; NY flushed through the 1.4145 prior low to a 1.4134 session low before recovering it. The bounce stalled at the 1.4164 swing high, at the descending line and the 78.6% of the 1.4173 ny high to 1.4134 drop, and is now holding the 61.8% near 1.4158.

Downtrend, rebounding off session low · RSI 55 · price 1.41602

Lower highs intact since Asia; post-NY bounce testing falling trendline.

Lower highs from the 1.4198 Asian high fed a NY sell-off to a 1.4134 session low, as softer Treasury yields kept USD heavy. After London close, price reclaimed the 61.8% fib of the sell-off at 1.4158. It is now pressing the 1.4161 bounce high just under the falling trendline near 1.4165, with RSI(14) back at a neutral 55.

  • Failure back below the fib 61.8 at 1.4158 and the 1.4146 london low puts the 1.4134 session low back in play
  • Thin post-London liquidity into the weekend; US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC is a low-impact headline risk

16:31 UTC

Intraday downtrend, NY bounce stalling · RSI 43 · price 1.41566

Lower highs from 1.4187; NY low 1.4134, retracement into 1.4160s.

USD/CAD has printed lower highs since the Asia session. London extended the slide to the 1.4145 london low, and NY broke through to a 1.4134 session low as softer US yields weighed on the dollar. The bounce from that low stalled at 1.4161, the bounce high, which sits near the 61.8% fib of the 1.4173–1.4134 leg and is a retest of the London breakdown area, with price holding above the ema20 near 1.4152.

Support: 1.4152, 1.4145, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4161, 1.4173

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4173 swing high breaks the lower-highs sequence
  • Rejection at the 1.4161 bounce high and a slip back below the ema20 puts the 1.4145 london low back in focus

Lower highs from 1.4187; bounce off 1.4134 testing 61.8% fib.

London broke below the Asian range low at 1.4171, and NY extended the lower-high sequence to a 1.4134 day low as softer US yields weighed on USD. The late-NY bounce has stalled at the 61.8% fib near 1.4158, still under the falling trendline from the 1.4187 lower high and the 1.4173 NY high.

Support: 1.4145, 1.4134

Downtrend, corrective bounce off NY low · RSI 45 · price 1.41562

Lower-high chain intact from the 1.4198 asia high; NY low 1.4134 holding, price retracing into the 61.8% zone.

Steady sell-off from 1.4202 broke the 1.4145 london low in NY hours and printed a 1.4134 ny low, a 2+ week low as softer UST yields weighed on the USD. Price has since bounced about 22 pips to 1.4156 into the 61.8% retrace of the 1.4173–1.4134 leg. The lower highs at 1.4198 (asia high), 1.4187 and 1.4173 remain unbroken.

Intraday downtrend, basing at session low · RSI 40 · price 1.41451

Lower highs from the Asian range; small higher lows off 1.4134.

London broke below the Asian low at 1.4171, and a NY rebound stalled there at 1.4173. A fresh leg then printed a 1.4134 session low as softer US yields weighed on USD. Price is now basing around the 1.4140 fair value area, with the late-NY bounce capped at 1.4148, the 38.2% retrace of the NY drop.

Support: 1.4140, 1.4134

Resistance: 1.4148, 1.4153, 1.4171

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4153 50% fib of the NY drop weakens the lower-high sequence and opens a retest of the 1.4171 asian low
  • A break of the 1.4134 session low extends the lower-low chain below 1.4140 fair value
  • Repeated rejection at the 1.4148 bounce high keeps the NY drop structure intact

Downtrend, bounce off NY low · RSI 46 · price 1.41468

Lower highs and lower lows through Asia, London and NY; NY swept the London low.

Soft USD and narrowing US-CA spreads kept the pair stepping lower from the Asia high near 1.4198, with a lower high at 1.4187 and another at the 1.4173 NY high. The NY slide swept the london low at 1.4145 down to the 1.4134 ny low, and late NY price is back at 1.4147, near the 38.2% fib of that drop. RSI(14) is near 46 and price sits under EMA20 and EMA50.

  • Failure to hold the 1.4145 london low turns the sweep into continuation
  • Move through the 1.4153 fib 50% toward the 1.4173 ny high tests the descending lower-high trendline
  • Break above the 1.4187 lower high invalidates the intraday downtrend read

15:16 UTC

Downtrend, stalling at session low · RSI 40 · price 1.41399

Lower highs and lower lows, Asian range broken lower.

USDCAD has printed lower highs all day. London broke the Asian range low near 1.4171, and the NY open extended the slide to a 1.4134 session low as the soft USD tone held. Price is basing just under the former 1.4145 london low, with RSI(14) near 40 and no oversold extreme.

  • Failure to hold the 1.4134 session low exposes the 1.4100 round number

Downtrend, stalling at lows · RSI 41 · price 1.41399

Lower highs, lower lows; Asian range and London low broken.

The pair slipped through the 1.4171 Asian range low and ground lower through the London session. The first hour of NY then took out the 1.4145 London low and set a session low at 1.4134, as softer US yields and a firm CAD after Macklem's hawkish tilt kept pressure on. The pace has slowed since, with price holding just above 1.4134, below both EMAs, with RSI(14) near 41.

Support: 1.4134, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.4173

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.4145 london low, which sits near the 38.2% fib, would mark the NY break as a false break

  • Reclaim of the 1.4173 swing high invalidates the intraday lower-high sequence
  • Weekly close and the 18:00 UTC US Budget Statement could shift late-session USD flows

Downtrend, fresh session lows · RSI 34 · price 1.41365

Lower highs and lower lows; Asian range broken lower, broken Asian low retested.

London broke the Asian range low near 1.4171. The NY bounce stalled at 1.4173 as a retest of the broken asian low, then a second NY leg cleared the 1.4145 london low and printed a session low at 1.4136 as soft USD and firm oil kept the pair offered. RSI(14) is near 34, heavy but not oversold.

Support: 1.41356, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.41728

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.4136 session low exposes the 1.4100 round number
  • Break above the lower highs trendline and the 1.4173 asian low negates the lower-high chain

LH/LL sequence; early-NY breakdown below the London low.

Supply capped the bounce at a 1.4173 lower high, below the 1.4187 swing high from after the 03:45 UTC flush. Early NY then broke through the 1.4145 prior low from the London session to a fresh session low at 1.4138. USD softness on falling yields keeps the LH/LL chain intact, with price now sitting near the 1.4140 fair-value area flagged in the digest.

Support: 1.4138, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.4173, 1.4187

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 1.4145 prior low would turn the breakdown into a false break
  • A move above the 1.4173 lower high breaks the descending trendline and the LH sequence
  • Acceptance below the 1.4138 session low opens the 1.4100 round number
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC and Friday weekly-close positioning ahead of Monday's Canada CPI could shift this read

LH/LL chain; NY open bounce rejected, new session low.

London extended the slide from the 1.4187 pre-london high down to 1.4145. The NY open bounce was rejected at 1.4173 (ny high), and price broke the london low to a fresh session low at 1.4141 as softer USD and firm oil weighed; RSI(14) near 38, not oversold.

Support: 1.4141, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.4173, 1.4187

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.4145 london low would turn the break into a false break
  • Failure to hold the 1.4141 session low (≈1.4140 fair value cited in the CAD read) extends the lower-low chain toward the 1.4100 round number
  • Close above the 1.4173 ny high breaks the lower-highs trendline; 1.4187 pre-london high is the next cap
  • US Budget Statement 18:00 UTC, Treasury yields and oil remain the near-term drivers

Downtrend, fresh session lows in early NY · RSI 38 · price 1.41425

Lower highs and lower lows since 06:00 UTC; NY bounce rejected below broken Asian low.

USD/CAD broke the 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range lower into London and ground down to 1.4145. The early-NY bounce retested the broken Asian low and was rejected at 1.4173, setting a lower high. The 13:30 UTC leg then cut through 1.4145 to a 1.4141 session low as the soft-USD, falling-yield backdrop and firm oil outweighed hot US industrial production data.

Support: 1.41409, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4145, 1.41728

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 1.4145 broken low would mark the NY break as a false break
  • Close above the 1.4173 lower high and the lower highs trendline ends the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 1.4141 session low puts the 1.4100 round number in play
  • US Monthly Budget Statement at 18:00 UTC; calendar is otherwise thin, so yields, risk sentiment and oil remain the drivers

Downtrend, corrective bounce from session low · RSI 57 · price 1.41659

Lower highs from 1.4187, bounce stalling below 1.4173 at the 61.8% fib.

USDCAD broke the Asian range low near 1.4171 and ground down through London to a 1.4145 session low on the soft USD and firm oil. A bounce into the first hour of NY met rejection at the 1.4173 bounce high, near the 61.8% fib, and price now holds the 50% level around 1.4166 above a 1.4163 pullback low.

Support: 1.41626, 1.4145

Resistance: 1.41728, 1.41867

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4173 bounce high reopens the 1.4187 swing high and negates the lower-high chain
  • Loss of the 1.4163 pullback low breaks the rising support and points back to the 1.4145 session low
  • Thin calendar today; weekend IMF Fed-speak and Monday's Canada CPI are the next event risks

Lower highs to 1.4145 low, falling trendline broken, lower high capped at 1.4173.

London ground lower from the 1.4187 lower high to a 1.4145 day low as the soft USD tone extended. The London-NY transition bounce broke the falling trendline but was rejected at the 1.4173 NY high, just past the 61.8% fib, and price now sits on the 50% fib near the 1.4163 pullback low with RSI(14) mid-range.

Support: 1.4163, 1.4145

Resistance: 1.4173, 1.4187, 1.4200

London broke the Asian low at 1.4171 and extended to a 1.4145 session low. The NY open bounce, about 28 pips, cleared the London downtrend line and is stalling at the broken Asian low, where the 61.8% retrace of the London leg fib and EMA50 converge. The soft USD tone from falling yields and dovish Fed commentary frames the London slide.

London lower-low chain off the Asian range; corrective rebound now retesting the broken Asian low.

London broke the 1.4171 Asian low and ground down to a 1.4145 session low before a soft-USD NY open bounce of roughly 26 pips. Price is now retesting the Asian low from below, where the 61.8% fib of the London leg and EMA50 cluster, with RSI(14) at 57.

London broke the 1.4171 Asian low and ground lower in a lower-high chain to a 1.4145 session low at 11:45 UTC, extending the soft-USD slide on falling yields. The London-NY transition brought an 18-pip bounce through the descending trendline. Price is now testing the 1.4167 london shelf near the 50% retrace of the London decline, with RSI(14) back to 54.

Lower-high chain through London, trendline broken on 12:00 UTC bar.

USD softness after Warsh's speech knocked the pair to 1.4171, and London extended the slide below that Asian low to a 1.4145 session low. A 10-pip bar in early NY broke the London trendline and is retesting the 1.4162 prior pivot at the 38.2% retrace. RSI(14) is neutral near 45 and ATR(14) is about 5 pips.

Support: 1.4145, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4162, 1.4171, 1.4187

London broke below the Asian range; LH/LL chain since 07:00 UTC.

USDCAD first dropped on the Warsh IMF speech at 03:45 UTC. London then broke the Asian low near 1.4171 as broad USD softness persisted, and every bounce since has printed a lower high, down to a session low at 1.4145. Price is pressing the falling trendline heading into the NY open. RSI(14) sits near 34 and the swing high at 1.4155 is the first cap overhead.

Support: 1.4145, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.41552, 1.4171, 1.41984

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4155 swing high and the falling trendline breaks the lower-high chain
  • A move back above the 1.4171 asian low, also the fib 50% zone, would turn the London range break into a false break, with the 1.4198 asian high as the range top
  • Failure to hold the 1.4145 session low extends the lower-low sequence, with the 1.4100 round number the next reference

London then broke the 1.4171–1.4198 Asian range lower at the open, with lower highs stepping down from the 1.4187 swing high to a 1.4149 session low as UST yields slid. RSI(14) sits near 33 and price is now pressing the descending trendline as the London leg stalls.

Asian range broken lower, LH at 1.4187, retesting swing low.

The 03:45 UTC drop around Warsh's remarks broke the Asian range below the 1.4198 asia high. The rebound stalled at a lower high of 1.4187, near the 61.8% of the warsh drop, and early London is now retesting the 1.4170 swing low, which matches Thursday's post-data low. RSI(14) sits near 33 as falling US yields keep USD heavy.

Lower highs from Asian high, London retesting Asian low.

Lower highs since the 1.4198 Asian high. The Asia-session drop to the 1.4171 Asian low was retested at London open, after the bounce stalled at the 1.4187 swing high, and price now sits just above Thursday's 1.4169 post-data low as falling US yields weigh on USD. RSI(14) near 34 is soft but not stretched, and ATR(14) is about 5 pips.

The 03:45 UTC drop to the 1.4171 Asian low tested yesterday's 1.4169 low. The bounce stalled at a 1.4187 lower high, near the 61.8% retrace of the Asian drop, and early London has slipped back under both EMAs. A heavy USD on lower US yields keeps the pair pinned near two-week lows.

A 03:45 UTC drop to 1.4171 retested yesterday's 1.4169 NY low, the two-week low, as the heavy USD and lower Treasury yields kept CAD firm. Price then held a 1.4175 asian base and climbed along a recovery line to the 50% fib near 1.4184, sitting on EMA20 with RSI(14) neutral at 48 and ATR near 5 pips.

Selling around Warsh's 03:30 UTC speech broke the Asian range at 03:45 UTC and pushed price down to 1.4171, just above Thursday's NY low at 1.4169, as the softer USD/yields tone extended. Price has since rejected the lows and built higher lows from the 1.4175 rebound low back to 1.4184, which sits near the 61.8% retrace of the Warsh drop fib and right at EMA20. Lower highs from 1.4206 still cap price into the London open.

Macklem's mildly hawkish 04:15 GMT remarks pushed USD/CAD through the Asian range floor near 1.4186 to 1.4171, just shy of yesterday's NY day low at 1.4169. The rebound stalled at the 1.4182 bounce high, near the 38.2% fib, and price is now holding a 1.4175 base below EMA20 in late Asia session, with lower highs intact since 1.4206 against a softer USD.

USD/CAD dropped through the Asian low at 1.4182 around Macklem's mildly hawkish remarks. The move extends the soft-USD slide that followed yesterday's failed post-PPI spike to 1.4222. Selling stalled at the 1.4171 session low, just above the 1.4169 prior low, and the bounce was capped on the retest of 1.4182.

The rebound faded at the 1.4182 bounce high, near the 38.2% level of the Asia drop fib.

Late Asia session broke below the 1.4182–1.4198 Asian range in a 20-pip drop in the 03:45 UTC bar, which coincides with Warsh's scheduled remarks. The move came straight after a rejection at the descending trendline from the post-PPI spike to 1.4222 and leaves price just above the NY low at 1.4169, with RSI(14) near 24 and short-term stretched.

  • Fed Chair Warsh speaks at 03:30 UTC (~2h) and could materially shift this read; Macklem later today is a second CAD risk

Lower high at 1.4206 after NY rejection; Asian higher lows off a 1.4182 double base.

The spike to the 1.4222 spike high on the US data release in the first hour of NY was rejected and sold to a 1.4169 NY low as falling yields hit USD, with the rebound capped at a 1.4206 lower high. Early Asia is grinding off the 1.4182 double base along a rising trendline, pinned under the 1.4196 Asian high with roughly half of the NY drop fib retraced and ranges compressed to about 4 pips per bar.

Post-PPI downswing, bouncing into resistance · RSI 54 · price 1.41933

Lower highs from 1.4222; 1.4182–1.4196 range with rising lows.

The PPI spike to the 1.4222 ppi high was rejected and ran to a 1.4169 ny low as Treasury yields slid on AI-debt risk aversion. Since then price has held a 1.4182 range floor, and rising lows through the Asian session have pressed it into the 1.4196 asian high, which sits on the 50% fib of the PPI drop. RSI(14) near 54, price flat at the EMAs.

Support: 1.4191, 1.4182, 1.41693

Resistance: 1.41959, 1.4206, 1.42217

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4196 asian high and 50% fib opens the 1.4206 lower high
  • Break of the rising lows near 1.4191 returns focus to the 1.4182 range floor, then the 1.4169 ny low

Intraday down, basing in a tight range · RSI 54 · price 1.41944

Lower highs off the 1.4222 data high; post-NY range 1.4182–1.4195.

The hot US PPI and retail sales print at 12:30 UTC spiked the pair to the 1.4222 data high. That move was rejected into a 1.4169 NY low as Treasury yields fell. Since late NY it has held a 1.4182–1.4195 range, and early Asia is pressing the late-ny high at the 50% retracement of the PPI drop, with RSI(14) near 54 and ATR about 3.5 pips.

Support: 1.4182, 1.41693

Resistance: 1.41946, 1.4206, 1.42217

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the late-ny high and 50% fib at 1.4195 opens the 1.4206 lower high
  • Failure to hold the 1.4182 range low exposes the 1.4169 NY low
  • Only a reclaim of the 1.4222 data high negates the post-PPI rejection
  • Fed Chair Warsh at 03:30 UTC and BoC Governor Macklem's speech could materially shift this read

Range after NY slide, drifting higher in Asia · RSI 63 · price 1.41944

1.4182–1.4195 range since NY afternoon, price at range top.

The 1.4222 data spike on the hot US PPI and retail sales faded into a 1.4169 NY low as falling Treasury yields outweighed the data. Price has since held a 1.4182–1.4195 range, and early Asia is pressing the range top, which sits at the 50% retrace of that spike-and-drop.

Support: 1.4182, 1.4169

Resistance: 1.4195, 1.4206, 1.4222

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4195 range top opens the 1.4206 ny high, with the 1.4222 data spike above
