  • 100 hour MA at 1.33759. The low reached 1.3382.
USDCAD falls to the 100 hour MA

The USDCAD moved to a new session low and in the process, sniffed the rising 100 hour MA at 1.33759. The low price got with 7 pips of the MA level at 1.3382 and bounced. The price is trading at 1.33972.

The price of the USDCAD moved sharply higher on Friday and Monday, helped by tumbling oil prices. Yesterday oil fell to a low near the end of 2021 level at $75.30 and found dip buyers.

The catalyst were reports that the Saudi' and OPEC were mulling a production code a 500K at the December meeting. That was later denied by Saudi officials, and the price of oil shot back to the upside. That led to a move back lower and the USDCAD. Today that decline has continued.

Crude oil prices are also higher trading at $81.55 currently. The price settle at $79.73 yesterday.

It would take a move below the 100 hour MA to increase the bearish bias for the pair going forward. Watch 1.34078 as a potential topside resistance target and bias defining area on more upside momentum.

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...
