Flat, range-bound after NY reversal · RSI 55 · price 1.39844

Higher lows off the NY low, capped by a 1.3992 range top.

NY's spike to the 1.4014 ny high came after the US GDP beat. It was rejected back through the round number and sold off to the 1.3965 ny low. Early Asia is now compressing between the 1.3980 session low and the 1.3992 range top, near the 38.2% level of the NY drop fib. Price is sitting on flat EMA20/EMA50 with RSI(14) mid-50s, and there is no setup in play.

Support: 1.3980, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3992 range top reopens the 1.4000 round number
  • Failure to hold the 1.3980 session low exposes the 1.3965 ny low
  • US ECI and Canada Aug GDP, both at 12:30 UTC Friday, could materially shift this read

23:31 UTC

Sideways after NY reversal from 1.40 · RSI 46 · price 1.39849

Tight early-Asia range 1.3980–1.3992 below the NY spike high.

The US GDP beat drove a spike to the 1.4014 ny high, but the round number failed to hold and NY sold off to a 1.3965 ny low. Early Asia is holding a 1.3980–1.3992 range near the 38.2% fib of that drop, with the asia low at 1.3980 and the range top at 1.3992. RSI(14) is near 46 and price is hugging flat EMAs.

Support: 1.3980, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3992 range top (near the 50% fib) opens the 1.4000 round number and 1.4014 ny high
  • Loss of the 1.3980 asia low exposes the 1.3965 ny low
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both at 12:30 UTC Fri, could materially shift this read

Two-way chop, mild downside drift in early Asia · RSI 46 · price 1.39807

Range 1.3965–1.4014 after a faded US data spike; recovery capped at 1.3992.

The spike to the 1.4014 data high on the US GDP beat fully reversed through NY into a 1.3965 ny low. The late-NY rebound was rejected at the 1.3992 late ny high, and early Asia is sitting on a 1.3980 session low near the 50% fib of that bounce.

Support: 1.3980, 1.39649

Resistance: 1.39918, 1.40141

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3980 session low exposes the 1.3965 ny low and the 61.8% fib near 1.3975
  • Reclaim of the 1.3992 late ny high reopens the 1.4000 round number and the 1.4014 data high
  • Canada GDP and US ECI, both at 12:30 UTC Fri, could materially shift this read

22:46 UTC

Sideways after a failed NY spike · RSI 46 · price 1.39809

Tight 1.3979–1.3992 band inside the 1.3965–1.4014 day range.

The NY spike on the US GDP beat was rejected at the 1.4014 ny high and unwound to a 1.3965 day low, below the Asian range. The rebound stalled at the 1.3992 swing high, roughly the 50% retrace of the NY sell-off. After the rollover, price dropped back onto the 1.3979 swing low with RSI(14) neutral near 46 and price under both EMAs.

Support: 1.39785, 1.39649

Resistance: 1.39918, 1.4000, 1.40141

What it said to watch

  • A break below the 1.3979 swing low exposes the 1.3965 day low
  • An M15 close above the 1.3992 swing high reopens the 1.4000 round number and the 1.4014 ny high
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI at 12:30 UTC Fri could materially shift this read

22:32 UTC

Sideways, late rebound fading · RSI 44 · price 1.39809

Rebound from 1.3965 capped at 1.3992; inside 1.3965–1.4014 day range.

The GDP-driven spike to the 1.4014 NY high reversed through the 1.3970 asian low to a 1.3965 day low. The late-NY rebound stalled at the 1.3992 range cap, between the 50% and 61.8% of the NY drop fib. A 10-pip drop at 22:00 UTC, after NY close, puts price back at 1.3981, just above the 1.3978 higher low and below both EMAs.

Support: 1.3978, 1.3970, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3978 higher low exposes the 1.3970 asian low and 1.3965 day low
  • M15 close above the 1.3992 range cap reopens the 1.4000 round number and 1.4014 ny high
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both at 12:30 UTC Fri, could materially shift this read

22:16 UTC

Choppy, recovering off day low; capped below 1.3992 · RSI 44 · price 1.39805

24h range 1.3965–1.4014; higher lows since 17:45 UTC low now being tested.

The US GDP beat drove a NY spike through the 1.4001 london high to a 1.4014 ny high, but the move fully reversed and swept the 1.3970 asian low to a 1.3965 day low. The recovery stalled at a 1.3992 recovery cap, between the 50% and 61.8% retracement of the NY reversal. A post-rollover drop in thin early-Asia trade is now testing the 1.3979 swing low.

Support: 1.3979, 1.3970, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4001, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3979 swing low ends the higher-low sequence and exposes the 1.3970 asian low and 1.3965 day low
  • Reclaim of the 1.3992 recovery cap (61.8% of the NY reversal) reopens the 1.4001 london high
  • Canada Aug GDP and US Q3 ECI, both at 12:30 UTC Fri, could materially shift this read

22:02 UTC

Two-way, lower highs since NY spike · RSI 50 · price 1.39832

1.3965–1.4014 day range; late-NY rebound capped at 1.3992.

The Q3 GDP beat drove a spike to the 1.4014 ny high. It was rejected, and late NY selling ran to the 1.3965 ny low. The rebound stalled at the 1.3992 late-ny cap, between the 50% and 61.8% fib, and the first Asia session bar is slipping back to 1.3983, near the 38.2% fib and just under the EMAs.

Support: 1.3979, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI (both Fri 12:30 UTC) could materially shift this read

Recovering from NY low, stalling at 1.3990 · RSI 62 · price 1.39895

Higher-low chain off 1.3965 day low, capped near 1.3992.

The post-GDP spike to the 1.4014 NY high was rejected and unwound to a 1.3965 day low. A higher-low chain since then has lifted price back to 1.3990, the 50% retracement of that post-data drop, where a late cap at 1.3992 is holding into the thin rollover.

Support: 1.3983, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3992 late cap and the 1.4000 round number reopens the 1.4014 NY high

Higher lows off the 1.3965 day low, capped near the 1.3992 evening high inside the 1.3965–1.4014 day range.

The NY spike to the 1.4014 ny high after the Q3 GDP beat was rejected. It unwound to a 1.3965 day low under the Asian range, a false break at both ends of the session range, with the BoC hawkish lean capping USD. The post-NY rebound printed higher lows at 1.3979 and 1.3983 and stalled at the 1.3992 evening high, near the 50% retrace of the selloff (ny selloff fib). Price sits at 1.3987 through thin rollover trade, just above both EMAs.

Support: 1.3983, 1.3979, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3992 evening high and the 1.4000 round number reopens the 1.4014 ny high
  • Break of the 1.3983 higher low and the rebound trendline exposes the 1.3979 swing low, then the 1.3965 day low
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI at 12:30 UTC Fri (~15h) could materially shift this read

21:17 UTC

Neutral, recovering from late-NY low · RSI 52 · price 1.39873

Higher lows off 1.3965 day low, capped below 1.3992; mid post-data range.

The US GDP beat and in-line PCE drove a NY-open spike to the 1.4014 data high. That was rejected, and the sell-off swept the Asian and London lows into a 1.3965 day low late in NY. Since then a recovery line of higher lows has stalled at the 1.3992 late ny high near the 50–61.8% post-data drop fib, with price flat into rollover and ATR near 6 pips.

Support: 1.3983, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4001, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • Break of the 1.3983 higher low and the recovery line reopens the 1.3965 day low
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both Fri 12:30 UTC, could materially shift this read

21:04 UTC

Recovering from NY low, range-bound · RSI 59 · price 1.39886

Higher lows since 1.3965, capped below 1.3992.

The US GDP beat drove a spike to the 1.4014 ny high, briefly above the 1.4001 london high, but it failed and unwound to a 1.3965 session low. Late NY has printed higher lows along a rising trendline, with price stalling near the 50% retrace of the NY drop at 1.3989, inside a 1.3965–1.4014 range going into Asia.

Support: 1.39827, 1.39785, 1.39649

Resistance: 1.39918, 1.40015, 1.40141

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3992 bounce high clears the 61.8% retrace at 1.3995 and brings the 1.4001 london high back into view
  • Break of the 1.3983 double low and the 1.3979 higher low snaps the rising trendline and reopens the 1.3965 session low
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI at 12:30 UTC Fri could materially shift this read

20:47 UTC

Intraday range, rebounding off day low · RSI 61 · price 1.39883

Higher lows off 1.3965, capped under 1.3992.

The US GDP beat at 12:30 UTC spiked the pair to a 1.4014 NY high, but the push above the 1.4000 round number was rejected and NY faded it through the Asian low to a 1.3965 day low. That break below the Asian low failed. Late NY has printed higher lows at 1.3979 and 1.3983, the prior HL and the latest higher low, and price is sitting at the 50% retracement of the NY high-low move, with the 1.3992 rebound high capping into the close.

Support: 1.39827, 1.39785, 1.39649

Resistance: 1.39918, 1.4000, 1.40141

What it said to watch

  • A close below the 1.3983 higher low breaks the rebound trendline and exposes the 1.3979 prior HL, then the 1.3965 day low.
  • Clearance of the 1.3992 rebound high puts the 1.4000 round number and the 1.4014 NY high back in play.
  • Price is moving into the thin NY-close and Asia session hours, where the rebound often stalls inside the session range.
  • Canada Aug GDP and US Q3 ECI, both at 12:30 UTC Fri, could materially shift this read.

20:32 UTC

Intraday range, late-NY rebound · RSI 56 · price 1.39858

Higher lows off 1.3965, back inside Asian range.

The US GDP beat lifted the pair to a 1.4014 NY high, but it was rejected above the 1.4000 round number and fell to a 1.3965 NY low, a false break of the 1.3970 Asian low. The late-NY rebound is building higher lows along a recovery line but stalled at the 1.3992 rebound high, between the 50% and 61.8% retracement, and price is now sitting on the line.

Support: 1.3983, 1.3970, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • A close below the 1.3983 higher low breaks the recovery line and reopens the 1.3970 Asian low
  • A break of the 1.3965 NY low confirms a lower low beneath the Asian range
  • A close above the 1.3992 rebound high and the 61.8% fib puts the 1.4000 round number back in play, with the 1.4014 NY high above

20:17 UTC

Recovering off session low, momentum flat · RSI 58 · price 1.3984

Higher-low chain off 1.3965 inside 1.3965–1.4014 day range.

The early-NY spike on the Q3 GDP beat reached a data high at 1.4014 and was rejected below the 1.4000 round number. Price then slid to a 1.3965 session low, under the 1.3970 Asian low. Late NY bounced to a 1.3992 late high near the 50–61.8% fib of that drop, with a higher low at 1.3979, and the pair now sits at the 38.2% level (1.3984), roughly on EMA50.

Support: 1.3979, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3992, 1.4000, 1.4014

Rebounding inside day range · RSI 61 · price 1.39915

Higher low at 1.3979 after NY fade from 1.4014.

The US GDP beat lifted USDCAD to a post-data hi of 1.4014 at 13:30 UTC, then rejection there led to a full NY fade to the session low at 1.3965. The late-NY rebound off a higher low at 1.3979 has retraced about 54% of that drop and is now pressing the London high and 1.4000 psych zone, with RSI(14) near 61 and the day still a 1.3965–1.4014 range.

Support: 1.39785, 1.39649

  • An M15 close above the London high at 1.4002 reopens the post-data hi at 1.4014.
  • Loss of the 1.3979 higher low breaks the late-NY rebound line and exposes the session low at 1.3965.

Lower highs from the 1.4014 NY high; day low 1.3965 swept below the Asian low, bounce capped at 1.3987.

The US data spike after the GDP beat ran to a 1.4014 NY high and was fully rejected. The sell-off swept the 1.3970 Asian low into a 1.3965 day low, and the late-NY bounce stalled at 1.3987, near the 50% retracement. Price is drifting at 1.3981 just above the late low at 1.3978, in line with the post-BoC read of USD/CAD pinned below 1.40.

NY spike faded into a sweep below the Asian low; small higher-low chain since 1.3965.

The US GDP beat at 12:30 UTC drove a spike to the 1.4014 NY high. That move fully faded into a sweep of the Asian low to 1.3965. The late-NY bounce off the higher low stalled at the 1.3987 bounce high, between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the drop, with price flat at EMA20 near Scotiabank's ~1.3980 fair value.

Support: 1.3973, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3987, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

Intraday downtrend off 1.4014, late-NY bounce · RSI 58 · price 1.39859

Lower highs from the data high; micro higher lows off the 1.3965 day low.

The US GDP/claims beat lifted the pair to a 1.4014 data high early in NY. That push above 1.40 failed. NY then sold down to a 1.3965 day low, sweeping the Asian low near 1.3970. The late-NY rebound has printed higher lows from 1.3973 and is pressing the 1.3987 rebound high, which sits between the 38.2% and 50% fib of the 1.4014–1.3965 drop.

False break below Asian low, reclaiming the NY sell-off.

The 12:30 UTC GDP and claims beats lifted the pair to the NY high at 1.4014, but the spike fully unwound and dipped to a session low of 1.3965, briefly below the Asian low at 1.3970. Late NY has reclaimed that level and price is testing the 38.2% retrace of the NY sell-off near 1.3984. The 24h range of 1.3965–1.4014 is still intact.

Support: 1.3970, 1.3965

Lower highs from 1.4014 data high; false break below Asian low.

The 12:30 UTC US data spike after the GDP beat stalled at the 1.4014 data high and was sold through NY hours. Price dipped to a 1.3965 session low, briefly under the 1.3970 Asian low, before buyers stepped back in. Late NY, it is pressing the 38.2% fib and the 1.3985 swing high, with RSI(14) neutral at 46.

Lower highs from NY high, Asian low swept.

NY spiked to the 1.4014 ny high on the Q3 GDP beat, then rejected and slid back through the 1.4000 round number. It swept the 1.3970 asian low and printed a session low of 1.3965 before bouncing. Late NY, price is pinned at the ema20 near 1.3981, below the 38.2% of the ny high-low fib, with RSI(14) neutral at 45.

Downtrend, lower highs since NY open · RSI 36 · price 1.39737

Lower-high chain from 1.4014, Asian low swept, price pinned just above it.

The Q3 GDP beat lifted USDCAD to a 1.4014 US data high early in NY, but the spike was rejected. A steady NY sell-off of lower highs then swept the 1.3970 Asian low to a 1.3965 session low. The dip was bought back to a 1.3981 minor high and faded again, leaving price late in NY hugging the Asian low with RSI(14) near 36.

Support: 1.3970, 1.3965

Resistance: 1.3981, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 1.3981 minor high, just over the 23.6% fib of the NY sell-off, breaks the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold the 1.3965 session low extends the lower-low chain below the Asian low

Intraday downtrend, bounce off session low · RSI 38 · price 1.39764

Lower highs and lower lows since the 1.4014 post-data high; 1.3965 dip below the Asian low rejected.

The NY-open spike to the 1.4014 post-data high after the US GDP beat fully faded, carving lower highs into a 1.3965 session low beneath the 1.3970 Asian low. The latest bar rejected that dip and closed back near 1.3976, just under Scotiabank's ~1.3980 fair value. RSI(14) sits near 38, not oversold.

Support: 1.39696, 1.39649, 1.3945

Resistance: 1.39844, 1.4000, 1.40141

Downtrend, lower highs since the US data spike · RSI 28 · price 1.39665

Lower-high chain from 1.4014; Asian low broken, fresh 24h low.

The first-hour-of-NY spike to the US data high at 1.4014, after the GDP beat, was fully rejected. A chain of NY lower highs has since pushed price through the Asian low at 1.3970 to a fresh day low at 1.3966 after London close, with CAD holding its post-BoC firmness. RSI(14) near 28 is stretched but not extreme; ATR around 7 pips.

Support: 1.3966, 1.3920

Resistance: 1.3970, 1.3985, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back above the asian low at 1.3970 would turn the break into a false break
  • A recapture of the 1.3985 lower high breaks the NY lower-high chain
  • Sustained trade below the day low at 1.3966 leaves the cited supp at 1.3920 as the next reference

Downtrend, pressing session lows · RSI 31 · price 1.3971

Lower highs since the post-data high; Asian low under test.

The spike to the 1.4014 post-data high after the US GDP beat was rejected and fully unwound through NY hours, leaving a chain of lower highs under the descending line, the latest at 1.3984. Price is now pressing the 1.3968 session low, a marginal break of the Asian low near 1.3970, with RSI(14) near 31 and after-London-close liquidity thin. The London high at 1.4002 marks the morning ceiling.

Support: 1.3968, 1.3920

Resistance: 1.3984, 1.4002, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.3984 lower high breaks the descending-line sequence

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since NY open · RSI 37 · price 1.39719

Post-data spike to 1.4014 fully reversed; LH/LL chain into session low.

The US GDP beat lifted USDCAD through 1.4000 psych to a 1.4014 NY high, but that move was a false break. Price has since retraced the whole NY drop through lower highs, the latest a 1.3984 swing high. Price has printed a fresh session low at 1.3968, just under the 1.3970 Asian low, with RSI(14) near 37 and not yet stretched.

Support: 1.3968, 1.3950

Resistance: 1.3984, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • Closes below the 1.3968 session low confirm the break of the Asian low and open the 1.3950 round number
  • A recovery above the 1.3984 swing high breaks the lower-highs chain; the NY drop 50% retrace sits near 1.3991
  • Reclaiming 1.4000 psych and the 1.4014 NY high would negate the reversal read

Intraday downtrend, lower highs since data spike · RSI 35 · price 1.39704

Post-data spike rejected; descending highs pressing the Asian low.

The US GDP beat lifted the pair to a 1.4014 data high in the first hour of NY. That move was fully rejected, and a chain of lower highs, the latest at 1.3984, has carried price back to retest the 1.3970 Asian low after London close. RSI(14) sits near 35, soft but not oversold, with price below both EMAs.

Support: 1.3970, 1.3950

Resistance: 1.3984, 1.4002, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3970 Asian low breaks the day's range floor and exposes the 1.3950 round number
  • Close above the 1.3984 lower high breaks the post-data descending sequence; the 1.4002 london high caps above that

Intraday range, sellers pressing lower after a failed spike · RSI 39 · price 1.39775

Lower high after a failed break above 1.4000; price at the range floor.

The spike to the 1.4014 NY high on the US GDP beat was fully unwound mid-NY session. Price is back at 1.3975, pinned near the 1.3972 session low and the 1.3970 asian low beneath a 1.3984 lower high. The 1.3970–1.4015 range holds for now, with RSI(14) at 39 and ATR(14) near 9 pips.

Support: 1.3972, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.3984, 1.4000, 1.4014

Sideways, short-term lower highs · RSI 42 · price 1.39834

1.3970–1.4015 range, post-data spike fully faded.

The US GDP beat lifted USDCAD from the 1.3972 London low to a 1.4014 data high in the first hour of NY. The push above the 1.4000 round number failed and the whole move was faded to a 1.3975 ny low. Price sits mid-range below both EMAs, with the asian low at 1.3970 and the ny low still holding underneath and a lower-high line capping rallies near 1.3990.

Support: 1.39749, 1.39696

Resistance: 1.3990, 1.4000, 1.40141

Intraday range, post-data spike fully faded · RSI 37 · price 1.3979

Range 1.3970–1.4014, price pressing the floor.

The 12:30 UTC US GDP beat lifted the pair through the London high at 1.4002 to a data high of 1.4014. That push was a false break: NY session gave the whole move back, about 80% of the fib retracement, to a fresh NY low at 1.3975. Price now sits just above the 1.3970 Asian low, which has held through Asia, London and NY, with RSI(14) near 37 and ATR around 10 pips.

Support: 1.39749, 1.39696

Resistance: 1.40015, 1.40141

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3970 asian low breaks the 24h range floor and puts the 1.3940–1.3950 area in view
  • Recovery back above the 1.4002 london high negates the false-break read

Post-data spike fully retraced, lower highs · RSI 43 · price 1.39775

Lower-high sequence from 1.4014 pressing the 1.3970-72 floor.

The US GDP beat at 12:30 UTC lifted the pair from 1.3976 to a 1.4014 data high. The break above the 1.4000 round number failed, and the move has fully unwound into the London close through a chain of lower highs, the latest at 1.3986. Price is now back on the 1.3970-72 floor formed by the Asian low and the London low, inside the 1.3970–1.4014 day range.

Support: 1.3972, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.3986, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3970 asian low breaks the day range and extends the lower-high chain into a lower-low
  • Reclaim of the 1.3986 lower high and the falling trendline invalidates the fade read; 1.4000 round number caps above
  • Repeated holds at the 1.3972 london low keep the range intact into the quieter post-London NY hours
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both Fri 12:30 UTC, are the next scheduled catalysts for a range break

15:47 UTC

Intraday fade after failed push above 1.40 · RSI 46 · price 1.39832

Lower highs from 1.4014 NY high, back inside Asian range.

The US GDP beat and in-line PCE at the NY open lifted USDCAD from the 1.3972 London low to a 1.4014 NY high. The break above the 1.40 round number did not hold, and price has since retraced over 70% of the post-data leg, back below the 61.8% fib. The pair now sits on the 1.3980 NY low, inside the Asian range and below EMA20/EMA50, with RSI(14) neutral near 46.

Support: 1.3980, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.3988, 1.4000, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • A close below the 1.3980 NY low exposes the 1.3970 Asian low, which London already tested
  • A reclaim of the 1.3988 61.8% fib and the 1.40 round number would neutralise the fade read
  • A return above the 1.4014 NY high reopens the post-data upside
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both Fri 12:30 UTC, could reset the range

15:32 UTC

Range, NY data spike fully reversed · RSI 47 · price 1.39845

False break above 1.4000, lower highs since NY high.

The US GDP beat lifted USD/CAD from the 1.3972 London low to a 1.4014 NY high, but the push above the 1.4000 round number failed and has retraced past the fib 61.8 at 1.3988. Price is sitting on the 1.3982 NY low below both EMAs with RSI(14) neutral near 47, still inside the 1.3970–1.4015 range that has held since the Asian low.

Support: 1.39822, 1.39696

Resistance: 1.3988, 1.4000, 1.40141

What it said to watch

Intraday range, fading from NY high · RSI 46 · price 1.39846

False break above 1.40, lower highs since NY peak.

The NY spike after the US GDP beat cleared the 1.4002 London high to a 1.4014 NY high but was rejected. Price has since retraced past 61.8% of the 1.3972–1.4014 data rally. Lower highs since the peak have put price back on the 1.3984 NY low, inside the post-Fed 1.3970–1.4014 range.

Support: 1.3984, 1.3972, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.4002, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3984 ny low exposes the 1.3972 pre-data low and 1.3970 asian low
  • Recovery above the 1.4002 london high negates the false break read and reopens the 1.4014 ny high
  • A break of the ny lower highs trendline would end the post-peak fade
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both Fri 12:30 UTC, are the next scheduled risk

Two-way, data spike unwound · RSI 47 · price 1.39875

False break above Asian range, back inside 1.3970–1.3998.

The 12:30 UTC US GDP beat lifted USD/CAD through the Asian high and the 1.40 pivot to a 1.4014 data high. The break failed within the hour, and price is back near 1.3988, the 61.8% retrace of the London-low rally, holding above the 1.3984 pullback low. The Asian low at 1.3970 and the London low at 1.3972 form the floor; RSI(14) is ~47, with price just under both EMAs midway through the NY session.

Support: 1.3984, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.3998, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3984 pullback low exposes the 1.3970 asian low and London low cluster
  • Failure to hold 1.3970 breaks the double-floor and confirms a lower-low below the Asian range
  • Close back above the 1.3998 asian high and 1.40 pivot reopens the 1.4014 data high
  • Fri 12:30 UTC: Canada Aug GDP and US ECI print together and could materially shift this read

Sideways, two-way after data spike · RSI 52 · price 1.3990

NY spike above London high rejected, back inside 1.3970–1.4015 range.

The US GDP beat lifted the pair from the 1.3972 London low through the 1.4002 London high to a 1.4014 NY high. That move was fully rejected within the hour, and price is now back at 1.3990, sitting on the swing low near the 61.8% retracement of the NY rally. RSI(14) is neutral around 52 and price is flat against both EMAs, so this is ranging between the asian low at 1.3970 and the 1.40 handle rather than trending.

Support: 1.3988, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.4002, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.3988 swing low (61.8% of the NY rally fib) exposes the 1.3970 asian low
  • Reclaim of the 1.4002 london high and 1.4014 ny high would negate the false-break read
  • Canada Aug GDP and US ECI, both Fri 12:30 UTC, could materially shift this read

Range-bound, post-data spike faded · RSI 54 · price 1.3993

Asian range 1.3970–1.3998 intact after two failed upside breaks.

The US GDP beat lifted the pair from the 1.3972 low to a 1.4014 data high. That was the second push above the Asian range after the London high at 1.4002 also failed. The move reversed in the first hour of NY, and price now sits at the 50% retrace (1.3993), flat on EMA20, with the 1.3988 pivot (61.8%) holding so far.

Support: 1.3988, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.4002, 1.4014

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 1.4002 london high reopens the 1.4014 data high.
  • Loss of the 1.3988 pivot exposes the 1.3970 asian low, a level held twice today.
  • ECB/Lagarde today, then US ECI and Canada Aug GDP Fri 12:30 UTC, could break the range.

Intraday uptrend after data-driven breakout, momentum cooling · RSI 60 · price 1.40025

Break above Asian range, pullback retesting the Asian high.

USD/CAD formed a double btm at 1.3970/1.3972 across the Asia and London lows. The US GDP beat at 12:30 UTC then pushed price out of the 1.3970–1.3998 Asian range to a 1.4014 session high in the first hour of NY. The pullback is now retesting the asian high near 1.3996–1.3998, with RSI(14) cooled to ~60 from the high-60s.

Support: 1.3998, 1.3971

Resistance: 1.4014, 1.4053

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back below the 1.3998 asian high returns price to the Asian range and turns the breakout into a false break

Intraday recovery, breakout being retested · RSI 57 · price 1.40019

Double bottom at 1.3970 broken higher, pullback from session high.

A double bottom at 1.3970 (Asian low 1.39696, late-London 1.39719) resolved higher after the US GDP beat. The NY rally cleared the London high and the 1.4000 round number to a 1.4014 session high. Rejection there has price retesting 1.4000, with RSI(14) near 57 and ATR around 8 pips.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3970

Resistance: 1.4014, 1.4053

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the 1.4000 round number turns the breakout into a false break and exposes the 50–61.8% NY rally fib at 1.3993–1.3986
  • A close above the 1.4014 session high opens the 1.4053 fomc high, the pre-presser level from yesterday
  • Failure at the 1.3970 double btm would confirm a lower low and negate the reversal read
  • The ECB decision today could shift broad USD and move this read; Fri 12:30 UTC US ECI and Canada Aug GDP are the next pair-specific risk

13:32 UTC

Intraday rebound, back above 1.4000 · RSI 58 · price 1.40031

Double bottom off 1.3970–1.3972, London high broken.

Firm US data at 12:30 UTC (GDP beat, lower claims) lifted USDCAD off the 1.3972 london low, a near-match of the 1.3970 asian low, back through the 1.4000 psych and London's 1.4002 high to a 1.4009 session high in the first hour of NY. RSI(14) near 58 and ATR around 7 pips. The session high is the first cap, and the 1.4021 post-fed hi sits just above.

Support: 1.4000, 1.39719, 1.39696

  • Fib 50% of the 1.3972–1.4009 leg near 1.3990 is the first pullback gauge
  • Break of the london low and asian low (1.3972/1.3970) voids the double bottom
  • Clearing the 1.4021 post-fed hi extends the rebound toward the pre-Fed 1.4050s

Post-Fed downswing stalled, rebounding inside range · RSI 60 · price 1.39982

1.3970–1.4002 range since Asia, higher low at 1.3976 into range top.

The slide from the pre-Fed high at 1.4053 has been floored at 1.3970, where the Asia and late-London lows form a double low. USD/CAD gained about 16 pips in the 12:45 GMT bar after the 12:30 GMT US PCE/GDP release (actuals not yet in the feed). Price is now pressing the 1.4000–1.4002 round number and London high, with RSI(14) near 60.

Resistance: 1.40015, 1.40526

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 1.4002 London high breaks the range top and opens a path toward the 1.4053 pre-Fed high
  • Rejection at 1.4000 and a loss of the 1.3976 PCE bar low would return price to mid-range
  • A break below the 1.3970 double low invalidates the double bottom read

1.3970–1.4002 day range; price at range top.

The 12:45 UTC bar after the US PCE/GDP release lifted USDCAD about 16 pips off the 1.3976 pce low. Price is now pressing the 1.4000 round number and the 1.4002 london high, having retraced nearly all of the London fade. The day remains a 1.3970–1.4002 range, with the asian low (1.3970) and the 11:45 low (1.3972) forming a double bottom, RSI(14) near 55 and ATR around 6 pips.

Support: 1.39755, 1.39696

Resistance: 1.40015, 1.4021

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close above the 1.4002 london high completes the double bottom and opens the path to the 1.4021 fomc shelf from Wednesday's Warsh-led drop
  • Rejection at the round number and a slip back below the 1.3976 pce low returns price toward the 1.3970 asian low and range floor
  • PCE/GDP actuals are not yet in the feed; confirmation of a hot or soft print could materially shift this read
  • The ECB press conference this afternoon is a secondary volatility risk during NY hours

Mild downtrend from London high, stalling near Asian low · RSI 35 · price 1.39824

Lower highs since 1.4002, lows holding 1.3970–1.3972 in a 1.3970–1.4000 band.

London stalled at the 1.4000 round number (london high 1.40015) and slid to a 1.39719 session low, just above the 1.39696 asian low, with the pullback hi at 1.39855 capping the bounce near the 50% fib. The 12:30 GMT PCE/GDP bar was muted at about 8 pips with actuals not yet in the feed. RSI(14) near 35 and price sits under both EMAs as the NY session approaches.

Support: 1.39719, 1.39696

Resistance: 1.39855, 1.39982, 1.40015

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 1.39696 asian low breaks the Asian range and exposes the 1.3940 wedge base flagged in the digest
  • Close above the 1.39855 pullback hi and the London lower-highs trendline reopens 1.39982 asian high and 1.4000

Post-Fed downtrend, flattening into range · RSI 44 · price 1.39812

Lower highs inside 1.3970–1.4002 overnight range.

The slide from 1.4050 during Warsh's press conference has compressed into a 1.3970–1.4002 range since Asia. London was rejected at the 1.4002 london high and printed falling highs, then held 1.3972 just above the asian low. Price sits mid-range at 1.3981, below EMA20/50, with RSI(14) at 44 as the US GDP/core PCE release hits the current bar.

Support: 1.3970, 1.3945

Resistance: 1.3985, 1.4002

What it said to watch

  • US GDP/core PCE at 12:30 UTC lands on the current bar and could materially shift this read. A soft core PCE (≤0.2%) is the scenario the digest ties to the 1.3945 wedge base.
  • An M15 close below the 1.3970 asian low breaks the overnight range and confirms a lower low.
  • A close above the falling highs line and the 1.3985 ny high exposes the 1.4002 london high. Acceptance above 1.4000 voids the lower-high sequence.
  • The 50% retrace of the London leg sits at 1.3987, just above the ny high. Rejection there keeps the fade intact.

Range after post-Fed drop, bouncing from session low · RSI 41 · price 1.39842

1.3970–1.4002 day range; London lower highs, demand at 1.3970 twice.

After Warsh's press conference knocked the pair below 1.4000, Asia set a 1.3970 session low and London was rejected at the 1.4002 london high before fading on a lower-highs line back to 1.3972. Demand at that level drove an 11-pip bounce in the final bar into the 38.2–50% retrace of the London fade, ahead of the US GDP/PCE release.

Lower highs from London high, pressing Asian low.

London rejected the 1.4000 pivot at the 1.4002 London high, and the pair has printed lower highs since. The late-London breakdown through 1.3989 extended the post-Warsh slide into the 1.3970 Asian low, with RSI(14) near 24. US GDP and core PCE land in under 30 minutes with price pinned at the session low.

Support: 1.3970, 1.3945

Resistance: 1.3989, 1.4002

What it said to watch

The pair broke below the 1.4000 round number during Warsh's post-Fed presser. Asia then extended the move to 1.3970, the 6-wk low zone.

That high sits near the 50% retrace of the Asian drop, with price flat on EMA20 and RSI(14) neutral at 48.

The Warsh press conference ('hikes are working') knocked USD/CAD from 1.4053 to below 1.40, and BoC-driven CAD strength carried it to a 1.3970 Asian low at the six-week low zone. Late Asia has printed a higher low at 1.3978 and a recent high at 1.3985, putting price mid-way through the 1.3970–1.3998 Asian range.

Early Asia extended to a session low at 1.3982 before a two-bar bounce back to the 1.4000 psych level, which sits on the 23.6% fib of the post-Fed leg.

  • Failure to hold the 1.3982 Asia low exposes the 1.3965 6-week low cited in the CAD digest
  • Reclaim of the 1.4030 pre-Fed low would negate the post-Fed breakdown
  • US core PCE and Q3 GDP at 12:30 UTC (~12.5h) could materially shift this read
