USDCAD moves further away from 100/200 day MAs

USDCAD cracks back below its 200 day moving average

The USDCAD moved below the 100 and 200 day MAs in the holiday like trading on Monday. The 100 day MA currently comes in at 1.26949. The 200 day moving average comes in at 1.26596. The price yesterday closed at 1.26533 just below the lower 200 day moving average.

In trading today, the price moved back above the 200 day moving average in the Asian session, and worked up to a high at 1.2686. That was still below the 100 day moving average 1.26949, but trading between the moving averages gave a more neutral bias for traders..

The last few hours, however, have seen a rotation back to the downside and back below the 200 day moving average 1.26594. Bearish.

Momentum has taken the price down to a new intraday low of 1.26313.

The 200 day moving average will now be key resistance. Stay below and the bears remain in control from the short and longer term prospective. Move back above and traders will re-target the 100 day moving average (blue line).

Sellers are making a play. Can they keep the bears momentum going? Stay below the 200 hour moving average and more downside probing.

However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
