Uptrend, pausing below day high · RSI 55 · price 1.4051

Higher lows from London low, tight post-rollover band.

USD/CAD rallied off the 1.4009 London low through NY as firm US data kept USD bid, clearing the 1.4028 London high and capping at 1.4054 (day high) into the close. Early Asia is holding a 1-pip-wide band between the 1.4044 rollover low and the day high, with RSI(14) neutral near 55 and ATR(14) just 2.4 pips.

Support: 1.4044, 1.4028, 1.4009

Resistance: 1.4054

What it said to watch

  • Close above 1.4054 day high extends the higher-high chain from the London low

23:32 UTC

Uptrend, pausing near highs · RSI 58 · price 1.4050

NY breakout above London high, now tight consolidation below 1.4054.

NY session broke above the London high at 1.4027 and extended to a 1.4054 NY high as USD firmed on mostly upbeat US data into the Fed. Post-rollover trade dipped to a 1.4044 rollover low at the 23.6% fib of the NY leg and recovered to 1.4050. Range is now a tight 1.4044–1.4054 into early Asia, with RSI(14) near 58 and ATR(14) around 2.6 pips.

Support: 1.4044, 1.4027, 1.4009

Resistance: 1.4054

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 1.4044 rollover low (23.6% fib) opens a retest of the 1.4027 London high

  • BoC decision Wed 13:45 UTC and Fed at 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read

23:03 UTC

Uptrend, pausing below session high · RSI 54 · price 1.40497

HH/HL chain since London low; tight 1.4044–1.4054 range.

A double bottom formed at 1.4009, with the London low matching the Asian low. NY then broke the London high at 1.4027 and extended higher lows to a 1.4054 session high as USD firmed into the Fed. The post-close dip held the 1.4044 rollover low, and price is back near 1.4050 with RSI(14) neutral at 54.

Support: 1.40442, 1.4027, 1.40086

Resistance: 1.40536

Uptrend, stalling below session high · RSI 48 · price 1.40481

HH/HL chain from the London low, now a tight post-rollover consolidation.

London swept the Asian low near 1.4009 and reversed. NY then ran about 45 pips to a 1.4054 session high on the firm USD into FOMC. The rollover dip held the 1.4044 swing low just above the 23.6% fib, and price is flat near 1.4048 in thin Asia trade with RSI(14) neutral around 48.

Support: 1.40442, 1.40364, 1.40275

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.40536

What it said to watch

  • BoC decision Wed 13:45 UTC and Fed at 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read; a BoC hold carries the larger move risk

HH/HL chain from 1.4009 London low, now boxed 1.4043–1.4054.

After a London retest of the Asian low near 1.4009, NY cleared the London high at 1.40275 and stair-stepped to a 1.40536 session high as USD firmed on the Durable Goods beat and pre-FOMC positioning. Since late NY the pair has drifted in a tight 1.4043–1.4054 box, with the rollover dip holding above the 1.4043 swing low. Early Asia trade is thin and price sits just under the 1.4050 round number.

USDCAD climbed about 45 pips from the 1.4009 London low through NY as USD firmed into the Fed, and stalled twice at the 1.4054 prior high late in NY. Early Asia is drifting just under EMA20 and holding above the 1.4044 session low, with the 1.4043 swing low sitting on the 23.6% rally fib.

  • BoC at 13:45 UTC and FOMC at 18:00 UTC Wednesday could materially shift this read

Uptrend, momentum fading into rollover · RSI 40 · price 1.40454

HH/HL chain from 1.4009 London low; late-NY range 1.4048–1.4054 now slipping.

London swept the Asian range low at 1.4009 before NY drove a clean HH/HL climb to a 1.4054 session high, with USD firm into the Fed. The thin rollover dip has broken the late-NY range floor at 1.4049 and is testing the 23.6% fib of that rally at 1.4043, with RSI(14) cooling to ~40.

Support: 1.4043, 1.4040, 1.4031

Resistance: 1.4049, 1.4054

What it said to watch

  • BoC decision Wed 13:45 UTC and Fed at 18:00 UTC could materially shift this read; rollover liquidity is thin until Asia

21:32 UTC

Uptrend, stalling below session high · RSI 46 · price 1.40455

NY range break higher, late-NY consolidation, post-rollover dip.

Asia and London held a 1.4009–1.4028 range before NY broke higher from 1.4014 as the USD firmed on Tuesday's strong Durable Goods and CB Confidence prints. Price then stalled under the 1.4054 session high, where a small double top formed, and a thin post-rollover dip has slipped below EMA20 and the 1.4050 round number. It now sits just above the 1.4043 swing low.

What it said to watch

NY breakout above London high, now compressing 1.4048–1.4054.

London dipped through the Asian low at 1.4009 and reversed. NY then broke the London high at 1.4027 and printed higher highs to a 1.4054 session high as USD firmed into FOMC. Since then price has compressed in a 6-pip range above 1.4048 into the NY close, with RSI(14) cooling to 63 and ATR down near 3.6 pips.

London held the Asian low near 1.4009. NY then broke the 1.4027 london high and ran to a 1.4054 session high as USD stayed firm into FOMC. Late NY has flattened into a 1.4048–1.4054 band, with the 1.4048 range low holding and RSI(14) cooling to about 59 as the NY-session run of higher lows stalls.

Support: 1.4048, 1.4043, 1.4027

Resistance: 1.40536

What it said to watch

The Asian range (1.4009–1.4024) is well below, and RSI(14) near 77 shows a stretched but orderly late-NY grind.

Late in the NY session, RSI(14) sits near 74, hot but in trend. The swing low at 1.4043 and the NY pullback low at 1.4031 define the higher-low chain, with the 1.4050 round number just overhead.

Price has since made higher lows to a 1.4046 session high just under the 1.4050 round number. RSI(14) near 73 is hot but not stretched, and price holds above the ema20 near 1.4032, with the latest swing low at 1.4037.

NY then cleared the 1.4027 London high on upside US data (durables, Dallas Fed, CB confidence), printing a session high at 1.4039 with RSI(14) near 62, not stretched. Late NY dips have held the 1.4031 swing low, with the rising trendline and the 38.2% fib clustering at the former London high.

USD/CAD held the 1.4009 London low, which matched the Asian low. NY then broke the Asian range top and the 1.4027 London high on firm US data and broad USD strength, building a higher-low trendline to a 1.4037 session high.

Higher lows since the 1.4009 double bottom; London high broken.

The rebound from the 1.4009 double bottom, set by matching Asian and London lows, broke the 1.4028 London high early in NY as USD firmed on today's Durable Goods and confidence beats.

A double btm at 1.4009 (Asia and London lows) gave way to a NY breakout through the 1.4027 london high, with a session high at 1.4036 as USD firmed into Wednesday's Fed and BoC. Pullbacks since have held above the old London high and the 12:30 UTC ny swing low at 1.4014. RSI(14) sits near 65, not stretched.

Buyers defended the asian low at 1.4009 during London, then built higher lows. The 1.4014 swing low held into NY, where price cleared the 1.4027 london high and printed a session high at 1.4036 as USD firmed ahead of the Fed. Price is now sitting on the broken london high with RSI(14) near 60 and no stretch.

Higher lows from 1.4009; NY broke the London high, then rejected.

Price held a double bottom at the 1.4009 Asian low, then the NY session cleared the 1.40275 London high on a firm USD into the Fed and BoC decisions. The 14:00 UTC US data bar spiked to a 1.4036 session high and was rejected, leaving a long upper wick. RSI(14) near 62 and price above both EMAs.

Resistance: 1.40357, 1.4051

What it said to watch

  • Holding the 1.40275 london high as support keeps the breakout intact; a close back below it leaves a false break.
  • An M15 close above the 1.4036 session high opens the path to the 1.4051 prior high from yesterday's NY session.
  • Loss of the rising lows line and the 1.4009 asian low exposes the 1.4000 round number.

Higher lows off 1.4009, NY breaking above London high.

NY open has cleared the London high at 1.4027 and the Asian range top. That extends a higher-low sequence off the 1.4009 double low, which began after the 12:30 UTC durable goods beat added to the firm USD tone; RSI(14) is near 68. Overhead, the 1.4040 prior break, where yesterday's NY selloff accelerated, comes before the 1.4055 window high.

After yesterday's NY slide from the 1.4055 prior high, USDCAD has held a 1.4009–1.4029 range, with the Asian and London lows forming a double bottom at the 1.4009 range low. The firm Durable Goods beat at 12:30 UTC lifted price off the 1.4014 higher low to a 1.4029 session high in the first hour of NY. RSI(14) sits at 63, not stretched.

Early NY has pushed USDCAD to a session high at 1.4029, only marginally above London's 1.40275 top, off a higher low at 1.40142 after dip demand held the London low at 1.40086 near the 1.4000 psych level. Firm USD into Wednesday's BoC and Fed decisions is keeping the range floor supported; RSI(14) near 61 is neutral, and ATR around 5.5 pips signals a compressed tape.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4029 session high exposes yesterday's prior high at 1.40549

  • Break of 1.4000 psych below the London low would end the range read

1.4009–1.4028 range since Asia; third test of the session high.

USDCAD has held a 1.4009–1.4028 range since the Asian session. Demand at the Asian low twice (03:45 and 10:30 UTC) and a higher-low chain from 1.4014 brought price back to the London session high in the first hour of NY. The headline Durable Goods beat at 12:30 UTC fed the latest leg as USD firmed into Wednesday's BoC and Fed decisions.

Tight session range 1.4009–1.4027, higher lows since London dip.

USDCAD is boxed in a 1.4009–1.4027 band, with pre-BoC/Fed position squaring keeping ranges tight. London's push to the 1.4027 london high was rejected, and the drop to the 1.4009 range low at the Asian low drew demand. Since then a higher low at 1.4014 has lifted price back toward range top in the first hour of NY, shrugging off the mixed Durables print, with RSI(14) neutral near 54 and ATR(14) only ~5 pips.

USDCAD has held a 1.4009–1.4028 range since Monday's NY sell-off. London was rejected three times under the 1.4028 london high, and the late-London rebound off the 1.4009 range low stalled at a 1.4026 lower high. Price is now back at mid-range below both EMAs, with RSI(14) near 48 and ATR around 5.5 pips as pre-BoC/Fed squaring keeps moves tight.

London session has held a tight 1.4009–1.4027 range. The 10:30 UTC dip to the london low at 1.4009 was rejected at the same level as the Asian low, and price has since rebounded toward the range top beneath the london high, with RSI(14) neutral near 53. A firmer USD is keeping the pair off the 1.4000 round number as the London-NY transition gets under way, with positioning squared ahead of Wednesday's BoC and Fed decisions.

London's push above the Asian range stalled at the 1.4027 london high, and the drop to the 1.4009 range low matched the Asian low before price rebounded into the 1.4024 area ahead of NY open. Late London is pinned between those levels as USD firmness meets pre-BoC/Fed squaring that keeps CAD firm around 1.4000. RSI(14) is neutral near 53, and ATR is about 5 pips.

London's push above the Asian range high stalled at the london high, 1.4027, and price slid back to retest the asian low at 1.4009. Demand stepped in there for a second time, and the bounce has retraced about half the drop on the London high-low fib. The pair is pinned near the 1.4000 round number as a firm USD offsets CAD strength ahead of Wednesday's BoC and Fed decisions.

Yesterday's NY spike to the 1.4055 ny high was rejected and fully unwound to the 1.4006 ny low by late NY.
