On the daily chart, USD/CAD has been consolidating in the range of 1.2640 and 1.2645 for the past few sessions. The rising trendline from the low made at the beginning of September series near 1.2495 (September 3) acts as defensive for the bulls. If the price breaks the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2668 it could trace back to the 1.2725 horizontal resistance level.
Next, USD/CAD bulls would attempt to test Thursday’s high of 1.2796 followed by the 1.2850 horizontal resistance level.
Alternatively, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator holds onto the overbought zone with a bearish crossover. Any downtick in the MACD would trigger a fresh round of selling for the pair seeking the first downside target at the 1.2620 horizontal support level. The bears would further be encouraged to move toward the low of September 10 at 1.2582.
Furthermore, a daily close below the mentioned level would make the possibility that USD/CAD can retest the low made on September 3 at 1.2493.
