17:02 UTC

Downtrend, lower highs and lows · RSI 43 · price 1.40285

Descending, probing sub-1.4000 lows.

Downtrend intact since the early-month roll-over from 1.4238, printing lower highs and lower lows into the 1.4000 handle. Price swept the six-week low at 1.39948 then recovered above 1.4000 — a USD-led move as the dollar sags post-FOMC on soft GDP/PCE. Price holds below EMA20 and EMA50 with ATR steady around 24 pips.

Support: 1.3995, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110, 1.4238

What it said to watch

  • Sustained H4 close below 1.4000 confirms the lower-low and opens the 1.3995 region
  • Reclaim of 1.4110 would break the descending lower-high sequence
  • ISM Manufacturing PMI Mon Aug 3 could materially shift this read

13:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 44 · price 1.40361

Lower highs/lows, six-week low swept.

USDCAD has trended lower through the month in a series of lower highs and lower lows, pressured by broad USD weakness after the soft US GDP and PCE prints. Price swept the 1.4000 psych level to a six-week low at 1.39948 before recovering back above it — a false break rather than a sustained breakdown. ATR sits in a moderate regime and price remains capped below both EMAs.

Support: 1.4000, 1.39948

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • H4 close above 1.4110 swing high would break the lower-high sequence
  • Failure to hold 1.4000 psych confirms the six-wk low breakdown
  • US UoM inflation expectations / Chicago PMI today could shift the USD read

13:02 UTC

Downtrend, testing 1.4000 pivot · RSI 44 · price 1.40361

Lower highs, lower lows since early-month top.

Downtrend intact on H4 with lower highs and lower lows since the early-month top near 1.4238, dragged by broad USD weakness after the soft GDP and Core PCE misses. Price probed below the 1.4000 psych pivot to a 1.3995 swing low then recovered to close near 1.4036 — a potential false break of the pivot. ATR expanded on the break bar, showing an active impulse rather than compression.

Support: 1.39948, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110

What it said to watch

  • Sustained H4 close below 1.3995 confirms a lower low and opens the path toward the June low
  • Reclaim of 1.4110 range top needed to challenge the downtrend structure
  • US Chicago PMI and UoM inflation expectations today could shift USD tone and this read

09:02 UTC

Downtrend, momentum slowing · RSI 43 · price 1.40205

Lower highs and lower lows, probing sub-1.4000.

USDCAD has ground lower off the early-month 1.4238 high in a clean sequence of lower highs and lower lows, with the latest leg breaking the 1.4000 psych pivot to tag 1.39948 before recovering back above the figure. The dip stalled as a soft US GDP (1.5%) and cooling core PCE capped the dollar's geopolitics-driven bounce. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, keeping the downtrend intact, though the sub-1.4000 sweep and quick reclaim reads as a false break for now.

Support: 1.39948, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4110, 1.41284, 1.42383

What it said to watch

  • Sustained close below 1.4000 confirms the lower-low toward 1.39948
  • H4 close above 1.4110 breaks the first barrier and challenges the lower-high structure
  • Canada GDP MoM at 12:30 UTC (f/c 0.2%) could materially shift this read

05:03 UTC

Downtrend, extending · RSI 40 · price 1.40183

Lower highs and lower lows.

USDCAD is rolling over in a clean downtrend, having sliced through the 1.4020 range floor to a six-week low near 1.4000 as the broad USD unwound after soft US GDP and cooling core PCE. Price sits below EMA20 and EMA50 with a shallow bounce off 1.3995, and the move is USD-driven rather than CAD strength. ATR(14) around 24 pips reflects the volatility spike into the breakdown.

Support: 1.39948, 1.3900

Resistance: 1.4055

What it said to watch

  • Canada GDP at 12:30 UTC could shift the near-term read
  • H4 close below 1.3995 confirms a fresh lower-low
  • Reclaim of 1.4055 would neutralise the breakdown

05:02 UTC

Downtrend, extending · RSI 35 · price 1.40183

Lower highs and lower lows, at six-week low.

Sustained downtrend on H4: the pair has printed successive lower highs and lower lows from the 1.4238 area, breaking the 1.4020-1.4120 range floor to a six-week low near 1.4000. The leg lower is USD-driven — broad Dollar unwind after soft US Q2 GDP and cooling core PCE — with price sitting well below EMA20 and EMA50. The 1.3990 swing low held on the initial test, prompting a shallow bounce to 1.4018.

Support: 1.3990, 1.4000

Resistance: 1.4050, 1.4110, 1.4128

What it said to watch

  • H4 close below 1.3990 confirms a fresh lower-low and extends the downtrend
  • Reclaim of 1.4050 would ease the breakdown read
  • Canada GDP at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read

01:03 UTC

Downtrend, momentum stretched · RSI 34 · price 1.40102

Lower highs, lower lows since mid-window.

USDCAD is grinding lower in a clean downtrend, price holding well below EMA20 and EMA50 as broad USD weakness after the soft US GDP and cooling PCE bleeds through. The latest leg swept the 1.4000 round number to 1.3990 before recovering to 1.4010, leaving a false-break look on the round-number liquidity. ATR(14) has re-expanded on the two down thrusts, showing the trend is still extending rather than compressing.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3990

Resistance: 1.4050

What it said to watch

  • Canada GDP MoM at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read
  • Sustained H4 close below 1.3990 confirms a fresh lower-low
  • Reclaim of 1.4050 would neutralise the recent breakdown

01:02 UTC

Downtrend, extending lower · RSI 38 · price 1.40102

Lower highs, fresh low at 1.399.

Downtrend intact since the early-July high at 1.4238, printing a sequence of lower highs into a mid-month grind around 1.405-1.410. Price broke that range decisively, dropping to a fresh low at 1.399 as the dollar stayed soft after the Fed hold and weak US GDP/PCE. ATR(14) expanded on the break, with price below both EMA20 and EMA50.

Support: 1.4000, 1.3990

Resistance: 1.4055, 1.4110, 1.4128

What it said to watch

  • H4 close back above 1.4055 negates the range break
  • Failure to hold 1.4000 opens the 1.399 area to further downside
  • Canada GDP at 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read
