We’ve seen Canadian Dollar strength that is backed by much of the Commodity run and subsequent USD weakness since the Fed hiked in December. However, February has been a sideways affair. I’m awaiting a price breakdown and close below the support levels of 1.3083/76 to validate the view. However, we do see a lot of support at 1.3000 as the price continues to hold up above 1.3000 or find bids. Regarding resistance, the price has had a difficult ...

Continued selling from here puts the spotlight on a major double bottom capping losses since early September 2016. Near-term support is in the 0.8334-70 area (double bottom, 50% Fib expansion), with a daily close below that exposing the 61.8% level at 0.8257. Alternatively, a ...

An eventual break below last week’s low of 99.23, followed by ...
Daily -“As is the case with EUR/USD and USD/CHF, continued failure at trend extremes warrant caution although there is nothing ‘solidly bearish’ to work with just yet. Weakness below 100.51 (December 2015 high) would suggest a broader reversal.” 100.51 (2015 high) is classified as a decision point (make or break level).
