23:00 UTC

Uptrend, recovering after midweek pullback · RSI 62 · price 1.3840

Higher highs reasserting after dip into 1.3795.

Price has reclaimed the week's range top after Tuesday's NY session pushed through 1.3822 and stretched to a new week high at 1.3851. The dip into 1.3795 was bought through the Asia handover and price is now consolidating just under the highs with RSI cycling 55-65 on each leg. Structure remains a sequence of higher lows since Monday's session open, with EMA20 acting as the dynamic floor.

Support: 1.3830, 1.3800, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.3840, 1.3851, 1.3822

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.3800 psych would break the higher-low sequence
  • Clean break of 1.3851 week high opens path toward 1.3870
  • Fed speakers (Jefferson, Lane) in Tokyo Asia session could shift USD tone

22:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 58 · price 1.38408

Higher highs into 1.3850 supply, pullback in progress.

USDCAD pushed through the prior week's 1.3820 ceiling during the NY session yesterday, tagged 1.38515 and is now consolidating in the upper third of the week's range. Pullbacks since Monday have held the EMA(20) cleanly, with RSI(14) cycling 50-65 on each dip. Price has stalled below 1.3850 on the latest attempt, with the Asian session compressing into a tight 1.3838-1.3842 range.

Support: 1.3826, 1.3800, 1.37945

Resistance: 1.38515, 1.3842, 1.3829

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above the 1.38515 week high opens room toward 1.3870
  • Loss of 1.3826 intraday low shifts focus back to the EMA20 around 1.3800
  • Failure to reclaim 1.3850 after retest builds a double-top read
  • Fed speakers (Jefferson, Lane, Greene) in Tokyo today could shift the read

21:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 58 · price 1.38401

Higher-lows since Monday, rejection at 1.3850.

USDCAD has trended up since Monday's open, climbing from 1.3795 with a sequence of higher-lows and finding buyers each time price tagged the H1 EMA(20). The NY session yesterday pushed to a week high of 1.38515 before sellers stepped in sharply, leaving a clear rejection wick. Price has since stabilised in the 1.3826–1.3840 zone with RSI(14) easing back to ~58 despite the new high — a mild bearish divergence as the week's momentum cools.

Support: 1.3826, 1.3800, 1.3785

Resistance: 1.3840, 1.38515

What it said to watch

  • H1 close below 1.3826 session low breaks the higher-low sequence
  • Reclaim of 1.38515 week high reopens the upside
  • Loss of 1.3800 weekly mid would shift the read to range
  • Fed speakers Jefferson, Lane, Greene in Tokyo Asia session could move USD

20:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 58 · price 1.38344

Higher-lows since Monday, capped under 1.3850.

USDCAD has built a steady stair of higher-lows since Monday's open, with the NY session yesterday driving the impulse to 1.38515 before sellers stepped in firmly. Price now consolidates in the 1.3826–1.3835 zone, holding above the EMA(20) but with RSI(14) failing to make a fresh high alongside price — a mild bearish divergence into the week high. Range top at 1.38515 has rejected once already and remains the level to watch.

Support: 1.3820, 1.3800, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.38515, 1.3839, 1.3828

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.38515 week high extends the uptrend
  • Loss of 1.3820 intraday low opens 1.3800 psych/ema20
  • Failure to reclaim 1.38390 prior high keeps the rejection in play

19:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 58 · price 1.38305

Higher highs, choppy range top.

Steady grind higher through this week with price holding above EMA20 since the Asia session reopen and pullbacks consistently bought into the NY session. The 1.38515 week high printed earlier in NY hours but the spike was fully rejected back to 1.38260, leaving a long upper wick and bearish RSI divergence into a fresh high. Range top around 1.38390-1.38515 is now the focal zone with intraday support compressing at 1.38200.

Support: 1.3820, 1.3800, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.38515, 1.3839, 1.38347

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 1.38515 confirms continuation of the week's uptrend
  • Loss of 1.38200 intraday low opens path back to the 1.38000 psych / EMA20 area
  • Failure at 1.38347 session high on the next attempt reinforces the rejection read

18:00 UTC

Uptrend, range-bound near highs · RSI 54 · price 1.38263

Higher highs into 1.3850 resistance, base at 1.3800.

USDCAD pushed to a fresh week high at 1.3851 in the NY session before sellers stepped in twice, dragging price back into the 1.3826 area. The move from Monday's open held EMA(20) on every pullback, but RSI failed to confirm the latest high, leaving a bearish divergence into prior resistance at 1.3838. Structure remains constructive while 1.3800 psych base holds.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3790, 1.3770

Resistance: 1.3838, 1.38515

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 1.3800 psych base would break the week's higher-low sequence
  • Reclaim of 1.3838 prior high reopens the 1.3851 week high
  • Crude price swings on Iran headlines remain the dominant CAD driver

17:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum extended · RSI 62 · price 1.38302

Higher highs into 1.3850 spike, pullback to 1.3830.

Holding above EMA(20) since Monday's open with a clean breakout through 1.3820 into NY hours producing a 1.3850 print before sharp rejection back to 1.3830. RSI(14) cycled into the low-70s on the spike and has cooled to 62, consistent with the pullback. Falling crude prices and US-Iran headline risk drove the late NY impulse before that intraday low at 1.3804 absorbed sellers.

Support: 1.3820, 1.3804, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.38515, 1.3839, 1.3828

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.3820 prior high would neutralise the breakout read
  • Failure to hold 1.3795 swing low confirms a lower-low and breaks the week's uptrend
  • Fresh Iran-deal headlines could materially shift the read given the spike-and-reject reaction this session
  • Reclaim of 1.3850 week high reopens the path higher

16:00 UTC

Uptrend, fresh six-week high · RSI 71 · price 1.38496

Higher highs, shallow pullbacks holding EMA20.

USDCAD pushed to a fresh six-week high during the NY session, breaking above the 1.3838 resistance that capped Monday and Tuesday. Price spent the week consolidating in a tight 1.3795–1.3838 range above the EMA20 before the impulse, with softer crude prices and broad CAD weakness named in the wires as the driver. RSI(14) at 71 is stretched but momentum is still expanding off the breakout.

Support: 1.3828, 1.3809, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.38515, 1.3860

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close back below 1.38280 prior high would signal a false break
  • Sustained acceptance above 1.38515 session high opens path toward the 1.3860 psych level
  • Failure to hold EMA20 near 1.38090 on a pullback would weaken the uptrend read

15:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 58 · price 1.38278

This-week higher-lows into 1.3835-40 supply.

USDCAD has carved a steady series of higher-lows since Monday's session open, with EMA20 catching the pullbacks through the NY session yesterday. The push to a fresh week high at 1.38393 stalled and price has since retested the 1.38200 breakout zone, holding for now. RSI cycled into the high 60s on the leg up and has cooled to the mid-50s, momentum easing but structure intact.

Support: 1.3820, 1.3800, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.38393, 1.3829

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.38393 week high extends the uptrend
  • Loss of 1.38200 breakout opens 1.38000 round number
  • Headline risk from Iran MoU developments could whip the read

14:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 63 · price 1.38267

This-week range 1.3795-1.3840, edging higher.

Price has ground higher since Monday's session open, holding above EMA(20) on every pullback and posting a fresh week high at 1.38393 during NY hours. The break above 1.38200 prior resistance has held as support on retest, and RSI sits in the upper half without yet flagging an overbought reading. Iran peace-talk headlines flowing through risk markets remain the dominant news driver.

Support: 1.3820, 1.3800, 1.3795

Resistance: 1.38393, 1.3850

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.38200 prior res would invalidate the breakout retest read
  • Loss of 1.37950 swing low confirms a lower-low and breaks the week's uptrend
  • Sustained move through 1.38500 psych opens room into fresh territory
  • Further Iran-US MoU headlines could materially shift USD risk premium

13:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum cooling near highs · RSI 65 · price 1.38331

Higher highs and higher lows since Monday's open.

USDCAD has trended higher since Monday's open at 1.3775, with the NY session breaking above the Mon high at 1.3822 and extending into a fresh week high at 1.3839. Price is holding above EMA20 with RSI cycling 55-68 on pullbacks, and the rising channel from Monday's low remains intact. Momentum is cooling into the highs as the latest hour stalled below 1.3840.

Support: 1.3808, 1.37985, 1.3775

Resistance: 1.38393, 1.3828, 1.3822

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.3808 (ema20) would break the channel and shift the read
  • Loss of 1.3798 session low confirms a lower-low and ends the week's uptrend
  • Sustained break above 1.3840 week high opens room toward round 1.3850 psych

12:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 68 · price 1.38341

Rising channel into 1.3830 supply.

USDCAD has ground higher through the week, with the NY session yesterday driving a clean break above the 1.3820 prior high and extending to a fresh week high at 1.3836. Price sits above EMA20 and EMA50 with RSI(14) near 68 — momentum constructive but stretched into the prior supply shelf. Risk tone is shaped by lingering US-Iran headlines and Kashkari's hawkish inflation framing earlier in the European session.

Support: 1.3808, 1.37985, 1.3772

Resistance: 1.38363, 1.3829, 1.3822

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 1.38363 week high extends the channel
  • Loss of 1.3808 ema20 opens 1.37985 midweek low
  • Failure at session high with rejection wicks would signal exhaustion at supply

11:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 64 · price 1.3824

Ascending channel, capped at 1.3829.

USDCAD has ground higher through the week, with each London-NY session adding a few pips and pullbacks holding the EMA20. The pair pushed to a fresh week high near 1.3829 in the latest NY session and is consolidating just below it, with Kashkari's hawkish inflation lean and soft oil tone keeping CAD on the back foot. RSI(14) at 64 reflects steady momentum without yet stretching into overbought.

Support: 1.3807, 1.3795, 1.3776

Resistance: 1.3829, 1.3822

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 1.3829 opens room toward 1.3850
  • Loss of 1.3807 intraday base would break the channel
  • Sustained move below 1.3795 session low signals deeper pullback
  • Further US-Iran headlines could materially shift this read

10:00 UTC

Uptrend, consolidating near highs · RSI 68 · price 1.38285

Higher highs, shallow pullbacks holding EMA20.

USDCAD has ground higher through the week, with the NY session pushing price to a fresh session high at 1.38290 after consolidating above 1.3800 since Monday. Pullbacks have repeatedly held the EMA20 and the 1.38040 area, while RSI(14) sits in the high-60s confirming sustained momentum without yet extending overbought. Soft oil tone and Kashkari's hawkish inflation lean have kept the loonie capped.

Support: 1.3804, 1.37985, 1.3775

Resistance: 1.3829, 1.3822

What it said to watch

  • An hourly close above 1.38290 session high extends the breakout
  • Loss of 1.38040 session low breaks the shallow-pullback structure
  • A break of 1.37985 prior swing would mark the first lower-low this week
  • Further US-Iran headlines could shift USD risk premium

09:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 67 · price 1.38285

This-week range 1.3795–1.3829, holding above EMA20.

USDCAD has pushed through the prior high near 1.3822 into the NY session, extending the rally that started Friday and printing a fresh session high at 1.3829. Price has held above EMA20 throughout this week with the week pivot at 1.3798 capping every pullback, and RSI(14) is firm at 67 as buyers stepped back in after the soft dip into 1.3795.

Support: 1.3804, 1.37985, 1.37945

Resistance: 1.3829, 1.3822

What it said to watch

  • H1 close back below 1.3798 week pivot would break the higher-low sequence
  • Failure to hold the 1.3829 session high breakout opens a retest of prior high at 1.3822
  • US-Iran headline risk remains active and could materially shift this read

08:00 UTC

Uptrend, consolidating near highs · RSI 58 · price 1.38162

Stair-step higher, range top tested.

USDCAD has held above EMA(20) since Monday's open, building a stair-step climb from 1.3760 into a 1.3820 range top that has now been tapped three times. The latest NY session printed another rejection at 1.3820 before buyers reclaimed 1.3815, leaving price coiled near the highs with RSI cycling 50-65. Kashkari's hawkish inflation tone and softer oil have kept the loonie pinned through the week.

Support: 1.3802, 1.3795, 1.3767

Resistance: 1.3820, 1.38236

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 1.38236 swing high opens room toward the next round figure
  • Loss of 1.38020 intraday base, then 1.37950 ema20, breaks the stair-step structure
  • Failure to hold above 1.37670 week open invalidates the uptrend read

07:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 56 · price 1.38133

Ascending range, capped at 1.3820.

Price has been carving an ascending range since Monday's open, with the 1.3820 area repeatedly capping rallies in both the London and NY sessions. EMA(20) has held as dynamic support on every dip, and RSI(14) is cycling in the 45–60 zone without confirming the highs. Buyers stepping in near the 1.3800 psych level keep the week-low at 1.3777 intact.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3777

Resistance: 1.3820, 1.38236

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 1.3820 range top opens 1.3236 week high
  • Loss of 1.3800 psych exposes 1.3777 week low
  • Iran-US headline risk could override the structural read

06:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum easing near range top · RSI 55 · price 1.38094

Higher-lows since Monday, capped under 1.3820.

USDCAD has built a series of higher-lows since Monday's NY session, with EMA(20) and EMA(50) stacked beneath price and pullbacks finding demand around 1.3795-1.3800. The 1.3820 area has now been tagged three times this week and rejected each time, including yesterday's NY-session push to 1.3820. Price is consolidating just below that cap into mid-week with RSI(14) flat in the mid-50s.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3784

Resistance: 1.3820, 1.38236

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.3820 opens path toward 1.3850+
  • Loss of 1.3795 swing low breaks the higher-low sequence
  • Failure at psych 1.3800 on a retest would shift the read to range

05:01 UTC

Uptrend, consolidating near highs · RSI 55 · price 1.38108

Higher lows since Monday, capped at 1.3820.

Holding above EMA(20) since last week's push to 1.3823, with price building higher lows through the NY session yesterday. The 1.3820 area has capped three attempts this week, while dips into 1.3795–1.3800 have been bought. RSI(14) cycling 50–60 reflects momentum easing into a tight consolidation just under the week high.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3784

Resistance: 1.3820, 1.38236

What it said to watch

  • Hourly close above 1.3820 reopens the prior high at 1.3824
  • Loss of 1.3795 swing low breaks the higher-lows sequence
  • Failure at psych 1.3800 with EMA20 break shifts the read to range

04:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 55 · price 1.38093

Rising channel, capped at 1.3820.

USDCAD has climbed since Monday's open, with the week high printed at 1.3822 and repeatedly defended as resistance into the NY session. Price is holding above EMA(20) and EMA(50) on H1, but the last two days show consolidation in a 1.3795–1.3820 band with RSI flattening around 50–60, signalling slowing momentum. The 1.3800 psych level has absorbed multiple pullbacks during NY hours.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3777

Resistance: 1.3822, 1.3815

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.3822 week high opens path to extension
  • Break below 1.3795 swing low breaks the rising structure
  • Loss of 1.3800 psych invalidates the consolidation read

03:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum stalling · RSI 53 · price 1.38114

Range below 1.3820 resistance.

USDCAD has held the gains from last week's push off 1.3760, with the NY session yesterday tagging 1.3820 for a second time and stalling — a double top forming at the week high. Price is consolidating just above EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling around the midline, no momentum either way into the Asian session. The 1.3800 round number is acting as the pivot of the current range.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3782

Resistance: 1.3822, 1.3818

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.3820 week high opens path higher
  • Loss of 1.3795 swing low exposes 1.3782 prior break
  • Asia-session Australian CPI miss may add residual USD bid

02:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing · RSI 53 · price 1.38067

Higher highs holding, consolidating below week high.

USDCAD pushed through the 1.3775 area mid-week and printed a week high at 1.3822 during the NY session, then settled into a tight 1.3800–1.3820 range over the last two sessions. Pullbacks have repeatedly held the psych 1.3800 line with price sitting just above EMA20, and RSI has cooled to mid-range as the tape consolidates. Structure remains constructive while 1.3795 holds, but momentum has flattened into the Asia handover.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3775

Resistance: 1.3822, 1.3814

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.3822 week high opens path to 1.3850
  • Loss of 1.3795 h1 swing low breaks the consolidation lower
  • Light news docket — China data and broader risk tone the main drivers into London

01:01 UTC

Uptrend, momentum slowing near range top · RSI 54 · price 1.38067

Stair-step higher into 1.3820 supply, capped twice.

Price has ground higher since Monday's open, building a stair-step from 1.3755 into 1.3820 with EMA(20) tracking pullbacks cleanly. The 1.3820/1.3823 area has now capped two attempts this week, forming a double top, while RSI(14) has cooled to the low 50s as the latest leg stalled. Hawkish Fed-side commentary (Kashkari) and a quiet calendar leave the pair pressed against week-high supply with momentum easing.

Support: 1.3800, 1.3795, 1.3775

Resistance: 1.3820, 1.3823

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.3823 invalidates the double top read at the week high
  • Loss of 1.3795 swing low opens the week pivot at 1.3775
  • Headlines around the unconfirmed Middle East deal could whip USD and disrupt the range

00:00 UTC

Uptrend, momentum flattening · RSI 52 · price 1.38094

Higher-highs into range below 1.3820.

USDCAD pushed from the 1.3747 week open up to 1.3822 over the first two sessions, then settled into a tight 1.3795–1.3820 range through the NY session. Price sits mid-range above EMA(20) with RSI(14) cycling around 50, and the two attempts at 1.3820 this week have both been rejected. Kashkari's hawkish remarks on Middle East inflation risks have kept a floor under USD without forcing a fresh break.

Support: 1.3800, 1.37945, 1.3767

Resistance: 1.3822, 1.3814

What it said to watch

  • H1 close above 1.3820 week high opens path to extension
  • Loss of 1.3800 psych and 1.3795 session low shifts read to range break lower
  • Australian CPI print in next session could add cross-CAD volatility
