17:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stalling · RSI 48 · price 1.40807

Lower highs into 1.4000, now basing.

USDCAD sold off through the window from early-month highs near 1.4247 to a 1.4000 base, pressured by firm USD repricing while soft Canadian CPI and fresh tariffs capped CAD upside. Price has twice held the 1.4000 psych level (double bottom), bouncing to 1.4114 before stalling; ATR has compressed as the pair consolidates in the 1.4000–1.4114 band. The 1.4110 area is the immediate cap for the recovery.

Support: 1.4056, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4114, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4114 swing high opens the path toward 1.4150 resistance
  • Loss of the 1.4000 psych level confirms a lower low and downtrend resumption
  • FOMC Jul 29 is the dominant catalyst and could materially shift this read

13:03 UTC

Downtrend stalling, recovering off 1.40 base · RSI 53 · price 1.40881

Based out at 1.40, short-term higher lows building.

The slide from 1.4247 based out at the 1.40 round number, printing a double bottom before recovering to the current 1.4088 — roughly a 35% fib retracement of that impulse leg. Soft Canadian CPI (2.8%) and a firm dollar capped the Loonie while firm oil cushioned the downside, keeping USDCAD boxed near fair value. Short-term higher lows are forming above 1.4056 but price has yet to reclaim the 1.4110 swing high.

Support: 1.4056, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 swing high opens the path to 1.4150 prior high
  • Failure to hold the 1.40 base confirms a fresh lower low
  • FOMC next week is the marquee risk that could reset this read

13:03 UTC

Downtrend stalling, recovering off lows · RSI 52 · price 1.40881

Double bottom near 1.4000, now ranging.

USDCAD sold off from the mid-July 1.4240 area high to a double bottom near 1.4000, where demand stepped in twice. Price has since recovered into a 1.4000-1.4110 range with ATR(14) compressing. Soft Canadian CPI and a firm USD backdrop kept the pair off its lows, but momentum stays capped below the EMA50.

Support: 1.4005, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4111, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4111 opens the path toward 1.4150
  • Failure to hold 1.4000 confirms a lower low and breaks the double bottom
  • US flash PMIs today and FOMC next week could materially shift this read

09:03 UTC

Downtrend, basing after recovery · RSI 48 · price 1.40756

Range grind, higher lows off 1.400 base.

USDCAD sold off from ~1.4247 into a double bottom near the 1.4000 psych level, then recovered to a swing high at 1.4110 before rolling back to consolidate around 1.408. Price sits just under EMA20 with ATR(14) near 18 pips — a compressed, two-way grind consistent with the digest's ~1.40-1.41 fair-value zone as soft CAD CPI and tariffs cap CAD while firm oil offsets.

Support: 1.4061, 1.4004, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 swing high opens the path to the 1.4150 range high
  • Loss of the 1.4000 psych / double bottom base resumes the downtrend
  • US S&P Global PMIs today 13:45 UTC could shift the broad USD leg

09:03 UTC

Downtrend, basing after bounce · RSI 47 · price 1.40756

Double-bottom recovery stalling below swing high.

USDCAD sold off from early-window highs near 1.4247 into a double-bottom base around 1.4000, then recovered to a 1.4110 swing high before stalling; price now consolidates near 1.4076, sitting just under EMA20 and EMA50. Soft June Canadian CPI and fresh US tariffs cap CAD while firm oil offsets, keeping spot parked near the 1.40 fair-value zone. ATR(14) near 19 pips reflects a compressing range rather than trend extension.

Support: 1.4005, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4175

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above the 1.4110 swing high opens the path toward the 1.4175 range top
  • Loss of the 1.4000 double-bottom base confirms a fresh lower low
  • Oil and US-Iran headlines could materially shift this read absent domestic CAD data

05:03 UTC

Downtrend, recovering off floor · RSI 48 · price 1.40764

Double bottom at 1.4000, capped below 1.4100.

USDCAD sold off from the 1.4247 area through the window but demand held twice near 1.4000, forming a double bottom that sparked a bounce to 1.4110. Price has since stalled below the 1.4100 pivot and is consolidating around EMA20, with soft Canadian CPI and hawkish-Fed pricing keeping dips off 1.4000 supported. The 50-day MA sits just under the floor as the next reference below.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3991

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 swing high opens the path toward 1.4150
  • Failure to hold 1.4000 breaks the double bottom and confirms a lower low
  • US PMIs at 13:45 UTC could materially shift this read

05:03 UTC

Downtrend, corrective bounce fading · RSI 46 · price 1.40764

Based at 1.4000, higher lows since bottom.

The multi-week slide from 1.4247 bottomed near the 1.4000 psychological floor and one-month low, where demand stepped in repeatedly and a recovery bounce carried price back toward the 1.4100 confluence, in line with the firm-USD/dovish-BoC theme after Canada's soft CPI. That bounce is now stalling: price sits back below EMA20 while holding above EMA50 and a rising higher-low sequence off the base. ATR(14) near 17 pips shows compression as the market coils under the 1.4100 pivot.

Support: 1.40605, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4100, 1.41105

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4100 confluence opens the path toward 1.4150
  • Failure to hold the 1.4060 higher-low exposes the 1.4000 floor
  • US S&P Global PMIs at 13:45 UTC could shift the USD read

01:03 UTC

Downtrend easing, recovery attempt · RSI 52 · price 1.40849

Bounce off 1.4000 base, capped below 1.4100.

USDCAD declined from the 1.4247 area to the 1.4000 psych floor, where a double bottom formed and buyers stepped in twice near 1.4005. The rebound stalled below the 1.4100 psych confluence with a swing high at 1.4110, and price is now consolidating just above the short EMAs. Soft Canadian CPI and tariff headwinds underpin the recovery, but rallying oil keeps the pair capped under 1.4100.

Support: 1.4005, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4100, 1.4110, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4100 psych opens the path toward the 1.4150 prior high
  • Break below the 1.4000 psych floor re-opens the 1.3970 area
  • US flash PMIs Fri 13:45 UTC could shift the USD leg materially

01:03 UTC

Downtrend, near-term recovery · RSI 52 · price 1.40849

Double bottom at 1.4005, higher lows forming.

USDCAD ground down from the 1.42 region to a 1.4005 double bottom as firm oil supported CAD, then based and recovered toward the 1.4110 swing high before easing to 1.4085. Near-term higher lows are forming off the floor, but price remains capped below the 1.4150 interim resistance, keeping the broader pullback intact. ATR is moderate and price is consolidating between the 1.4005 floor and 1.4110.

Support: 1.4005, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.4150

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 opens the path to 1.4150 interim resistance
  • Loss of the 1.4000 psych floor re-opens downside toward 1.3970
  • US flash PMIs Jul 24 13:45 UTC could shift the USD leg
