17:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 50 · price 1.41817

Higher highs/lows, correcting off 14-month high.

Higher-high, higher-low structure intact since early-month; price ran to a fresh 14-month high at 1.4248 before correcting on in-line US PCE and softer oil-driven CAD flows. The pullback found demand near 1.4174 but now trades back under EMA20 around 1.4205. ATR holding steady; the 1.4150-1.4130 former Nov peak is the key support shelf beneath.

Support: 1.4177, 1.4150, 1.4130

Resistance: 1.4205, 1.4248

What it said to watch

  • H4 close back above 1.4205 reopens the 1.4248 high
  • Failure to hold 1.4150 exposes the 1.4130 shelf and confirms a lower-low
  • Canada GDP (Jun 30) could materially shift this read

17:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 51 · price 1.41817

Higher highs/lows, lower high forming off 1.4248.

USDCAD pushed to a 14-month high near 1.4248 on the hawkish-Fed/weak-Oil double drag before stalling and rolling into a corrective pullback after in-line US PCE pared July hike bets. The broader sequence of higher highs and higher lows since early-month remains intact, but price has slipped back below the EMA20 and rejected the 1.4248 area twice. The 1.4150-1.4130 former Nov peak is the first multi-day support shelf under price.

Support: 1.4150, 1.4130, 1.4080

Resistance: 1.4200, 1.4248

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.4130 breaks the higher-low structure
  • Reclaim of 1.4200 reopens the path to the 1.4248 range high
  • Canada GDP (Jun 30) and oil swings could materially shift this read

13:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 47 · price 1.41861

Higher highs/lows, pullback off 14-mo high.

USDCAD pushed to a 14-month high near 1.4248 on the broad USD rally and June's oil slide, then was rejected and has pulled back to 1.4186 — the first lower close after a clean run of higher highs. The advance off 1.4004 remains intact along rising support, but momentum is cooling with price now back below EMA20 and CAD positioning flagged as crowded/overbought. ATR(14) near 23 pips reflects the single sharp down-bar before this consolidation.

Support: 1.4150, 1.4130, 1.4004

Resistance: 1.4248, 1.4240

What it said to watch

  • Close back above 1.4248 reopens the upside and confirms the 14-mo high break
  • Loss of the 1.4150 nov support area shifts the read toward a deeper retrace to 1.4130/1.4004
  • Canada GDP (Jun 30) and oil direction are the dominant catalysts for this pair

13:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum stalling · RSI 48 · price 1.41861

Higher highs into 14-month peak, now consolidating.

Higher-high, higher-low structure intact since the early-month breakout above 1.4120; price extended to a fresh 14-month high near 1.4248 before rejecting and slipping back below the EMA20 to consolidate around 1.4186. The pullback follows in-line US core PCE that trimmed Fed hike bets and an oil rebound, easing the wide US-CA yield-spread pressure that drove the rally. ATR(14) is steady near 24 pips as the pair coils beneath the highs.

Support: 1.4177, 1.4150, 1.4130

Resistance: 1.4248, 1.4338

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4248 resumes the up-leg toward the 1.4338 zone
  • Failure to hold 1.4150 confirms a lower-low and breaks the rising support
  • Canada GDP MoM Jun 30 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

09:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 54 · price 1.41963

Higher highs into 14-mo high, pulling back off 1.4248.

USDCAD ground from sub-1.39 to a 14-month high at 1.4248 on Fed-hike pricing and wide US-Canada yield spreads, but the impulse stalled and a sharp down bar capped price below the high. Momentum has cooled — price now sits back under the EMA20 around 1.4210 while holding well above the rising EMA50, leaving the higher-low structure intact above the 1.4150 Nov-peak shelf. ATR has expanded on the rejection bar, so the near-term read hinges on whether the 1.4150-1.4177 support band holds.

Support: 1.41771, 1.4150, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.42476

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.4150 nov peak would break the higher-low structure
  • Sustained move above 1.4248 swing high reopens the 1.43-1.45 zone
  • UoM Michigan sentiment/inflation expectations at 14:00 UTC could shift this read

09:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 49 · price 1.41963

Higher highs/lows, rejected at 14-month high.

Uptrend intact since the early-month base near 1.377; a steady sequence of higher highs and higher lows carried USD/CAD to a 14-month high at 1.4248 before a sharp rejection dragged price back to the 1.4177 swing low, where it is now consolidating. The grind reflects CAD weakness on Fed-hike pricing and wide US-CA spreads, but momentum is fading — price has slipped below EMA20 and RSI has cooled off overbought as the rally stalls. ATR holds a steady expansion regime.

Support: 1.41771, 1.4150, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.42476

What it said to watch

  • H4 close back above 1.4248 resumes the higher-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 1.4177 swing low exposes 1.4150 nov peak then 1.41
  • Canada GDP Jun-30 could shift the CAD read

05:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum stalling near highs · RSI 50 · price 1.41951

Higher highs / higher lows, pullback off 1.4248 top.

USDCAD ground to a fresh 14-month high at 1.4248 through the window, driven by hawkish-Fed USD repricing and the June oil slump weighing on CAD. The last impulse candle reversed sharply off the top and price is now consolidating near 1.4195, slipping back under EMA20 while holding well above EMA50 — higher-low structure stays intact. ATR(14) ticked up on that down-leg, signalling the recent compression has broken into a corrective phase.

Support: 1.4177, 1.4140, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4248, 1.4200

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.4177 swing low breaks the higher-low structure
  • Loss of the 1.41 pivot opens the 1.4140 nov support zone
  • Close above 1.4248 14mo high re-extends the uptrend
  • Canada GDP Jun 30 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

05:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum stalling · RSI 51 · price 1.41951

Higher highs into 1.4248, first pullback.

USDCAD ran a near straight-line advance from 1.378 to fresh 14-month highs at 1.4248, driven by the oil slump and hawkish-Fed repricing. Price was rejected at 1.4250 and has slipped back below the EMA20 around 1.4205 after a sharp bar lower, with in-line US PCE prompting some USD profit-taking; the EMA50 below still underpins the broader rise. ATR(14) holds steady, so trend structure stays intact while the pullback tests 1.4177.

Support: 1.4177, 1.4130

Resistance: 1.4205, 1.4248

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4248 opens the 1.43-1.45 zone
  • Loss of 1.4177 swing low exposes the 1.4130 prior high
  • Canada GDP Jun 30 and an oil rebound could deepen this correction

01:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum cooling near highs · RSI 56 · price 1.41991

Higher highs / higher lows, pullback from 14-month high.

USDCAD pushed to a fresh 14-month high near 1.4248 on the June oil slump and wide US-Canada yield spreads, then saw a sharp single-bar rejection back under 1.4200. Structure stays constructive — higher highs and higher lows since the early-month breakout above 1.40 — but ATR(14) near 23 pips and the stall at the highs show momentum cooling. Price is holding above EMA20 and EMA50, keeping the broader trend intact while it consolidates the post-PCE USD softness.

Support: 1.41771, 1.41437, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.42476, 1.4250

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.41771 confirms a lower high and threatens the rising-low structure
  • Sustained break above 1.42476 extends the trend toward 1.43+
  • Canadian GDP Jun 30 12:30 UTC and today's UoM inflation expectations could shift the read

01:02 UTC

Uptrend, momentum cooling · RSI 57 · price 1.41991

Higher highs/lows, rejected at 14-month high.

USDCAD remains in a clean H4 uptrend off the sub-1.3800 base, printing successive higher lows into a 14-month high near 1.4248 before stalling. The latest leg saw a sharp rejection back to 1.4177 as in-line US PCE trimmed hawkish-Fed bets and oil firmed, but price has stabilised above EMA20 and EMA50. The advance is stretched and momentum is cooling rather than reversing.

Support: 1.4177, 1.4144, 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4248, 1.4205

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4248 extends the trend toward 1.43+
  • Loss of 1.4177 then 1.4144 confirms a lower-high and deeper correction
  • Canadian GDP Jun 30 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read
