USDCAD: Strong Buying ZoneThe USDCAD has successfully broken out of a triangle pattern and also breached a local resistance line at 1.375, but it faced strong rejection after the break. It seems that the price will undergo a correction towards the last support level at 1.375 or even down to 1.370, which I consider a strong and ideal buying zone for the price to continue its upward move towards 1.385.

USDCAD Potential downsidesHey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring USDCAD for a selling opportunity around 1.385 zone. USDCAD is approaching the daily supply zone of the trend, if the rejection is confirmed i would set 1.34 as a target as it's considered the next major support USDCAD will be facing. Fundamentally the last FOMC shows dovish sentiments of fed which is bearish dollar so fed pivots sounds officially started.
Trade safe, Joe.
USD/CAD Remains Steady Amid Mixed Fundamental BackdropThe USD/CAD currency pair is currently trading in a tight range, as it is influenced by a combination of factors. The Loonie, as it is also known, is being supported by a recent uptick in oil prices, which has increased due to fears of potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. This has acted as a headwind for the USD/CAD pair, which is also being weighed down by subdued US dollar demand.
Additionally, traders are eagerly awaiting important macroeconomic data from both the US and Canada, which could provide a fresh impetus for the pair. Despite a goodish rebound from the 1.3630 area, or over a two-week low, the USD/CAD pair remains below the 1.3700 mark due to a combination of factors that are keeping any meaningful upside in check.
It is important to note that the recent collapse of two mid-size US banks, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, has contributed to the Federal Reserve's cautious outlook on the economy. This has resulted in the Fed lowering its median forecast for real GDP growth projections for 2023 and 2024, which is keeping the US Treasury bond yields and the USD subdued.
While there is generally a positive tone around the equity markets, growing concerns about slowing economic growth denting fuel demand are capping the upside for oil prices. This, combined with expectations that the Bank of Canada (BoC) will refrain from raising interest rates any further, is providing some support to the USD/CAD pair.
From a technical perspective, the lack of a clear near-term trajectory is reflected in the two-way price movements that have been witnessed since the beginning of the week. Given the mixed fundamental backdrop, traders are advised to exercise caution before placing aggressive directional bets around the USD/CAD pair.
Investors are also showing some reluctance ahead of important macro data releases from both the US and Canada, which are due later during the early North American session. Friday's economic docket features the release of Durable Goods Orders and the flash PMI prints in the US, which will be closely watched by traders. Meanwhile, Canadian monthly Retail Sales figures will provide further cues. Finally, oil price dynamics will play a crucial role in determining short-term opportunities on the last day of the week.
In conclusion, the USD/CAD currency pair remains steady above 1.3700 but lacks bullish conviction amid an uptick in oil prices. Traders are advised to stay cautious and follow the macroeconomic data releases and oil price dynamics to identify any short-term opportunities.

USDCAD Outlook 21 March 2023The USDCAD traded lower through the trading session yesterday as the DXY continued to weaken. The price reversed from the 1.3745 resistance level, down toward the key support level of 1.3650.
Today, the Canadian CPI is due to be released and is expected to indicate a slowdown in overall inflation growth with the Median CPI y/y (Forecast: 4.8% Previous: 5.0%) and the Trimmed CPI y/y (Forecast: 4.9% Previous: 5.1%).
Recently the Bank of Canada paused on its rate hikes, to allow time for the effects of the previous rate hikes to be reflected.
A slowdown in inflation growth would be supportive of their recent decision to pause and could reinforce a continuation of the decision. This could result in some strengthening of the Canadian dollar.
The USDCAD is likely to retrace to test the 1.37 round number level and 50% Fibonacci retracement level. However, if the USDCAD breaks below 1.3650, the next key support level would be at 1.3560.
USDCAD H1: Bullish outlook seen, further upside above 1.3650 On the H1 time frame, prices are testing the support zone at 1.3650, in line with the graphical support and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement where we could see a further upside above this level. A break above our upside confirmation level at 1.3720 which is also a supply zone could provide the bullish acceleration to the resistance zone at 1.3800. Failure to hold above the 1.3650 support zone could see prices push lower to the next support zone at 1.3550.
USDCAD Potential UpsidesHey Traders, USDCAD feels a need of a correction before continuation to the upsides, in tomorrow's trading session i'm monitoring reversal from 1.364 supply and demand zone at the trend. if the rejection is confirmed i will set 1.375 as a target as it's considered the next major support and resistance zone USDCAD will be facing.
Trade safe, Joe.
USDCAD Price Expected to Breakout UpwardThe USDCAD pair is in a long-term uptrend and is currently moving within a short-term triangle pattern. It has almost reached the end of the triangle pattern. I expect the price to break out of the triangle and continue its upward journey, with targets at 1.38200 and 1.39250.

USD/CAD Fundamental + Technical Macroeconomic Update | 3.14.23Weaker dollar due to uncertainties about Federal Reserve policy and US banking sector
On Wednesday, the dollar index was trading around 103.5, which is near its lowest levels in a month. This happened because investors are unsure about the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy. They are also worried about recent turmoil in the US banking sector and the latest US inflation report. Some investors speculate that the Fed might pause its tightening campaign to avoid further risks to the financial system. Additionally, the annual inflation rate in the US slowed further to 6% in February, the lowest since September 2021. Money markets are now pricing an 80% chance of a 25 basis point rate hike from the Fed next week, lower than the half-percentage point increase expected a week ago.
Canadian dollar under selling pressure due to the Bank of Canada's decision
Investors are reacting to the end of the tightening cycle from the Bank of Canada, and the Canadian dollar is under selling pressure against the dollar. The Bank of Canada held the target for its overnight rate unchanged at 4.5% in March, as expected, and stated that they should keep it at the current level should economic conditions develop broadly in line with expectations. This is in contrast with the hawkish Federal Reserve, which sparked demand for the dollar. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress that the central bank would likely need to raise rates more than expected in response to recent robust inflation and employment data.
Oil prices rebound as OPEC raises forecast for Chinese oil demand growth
Brent crude futures rose above $78 per barrel on Wednesday, rebounding from three-month lows as OPEC raised its forecast for Chinese oil demand growth in 2023. This is due to the country’s exit from the zero-Covid policy. However, the oil-producing group left its outlook for global demand unchanged, citing potential downside risks for global growth. On the supply side, Saudi Arabia energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said OPEC+ will stick to production cuts agreed in October until the end of the year. The international oil benchmark remains down more than 5% this week due to the turmoil in the US banking sector and the prospect of another interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next week. Investors now look ahead to IEA’s monthly report and official data on US crude inventories on Wednesday.
Investors reassess outlook for monetary policy and growth, driving down yields on Canadian government bonds
The yield on Canada's 10-year government bond eased to below 3%, a level not seen in a month, and is tracking its US peer lower as investors reassess the outlook for monetary policy and growth. Lingering concerns about a Fed-induced recession and the health of the US banking sector sparked demand for safe-haven assets, mainly government debt. Domestically, the Bank of Canada paused its rate-hike cycle at 4.5%, as previously signaled, after 425bps in rate increases during the last eight sessions. Policymakers noted that GDP growth was below expectations in the fourth quarter of 2022, emphasizing the need to support growth.
USDCADNow we are in a downward dynamic channel where the price has shown weakness near the middle line of the channel.
I predict that probably this weakness has the ability to reduce the price until near the bottom of the channel.
Oscillators also confirm this weakness, and this means reducing the market's tendency to increase the price.
USDCAD, an opportinity to go long.USDCAD / 4H
Hello traders, welcome back to another market breakdown.
Technical analysis: The USDCAD currency pair has been experiencing a bullish trend , with the price consistently breaking higher. Furthermore, on the monthly time frame, the price has rejected a major key level.
However, Today we have CPI data, we I'll be carefull with any setup based on Technical analysis.
The scenario I'm looking at:
Broken resistance becomes support.
USDCAD | POTENTIAL PULLBACK TRADE NOT GREAT BUT GOODHey Traders!
hey everyone its a pullback trade, much riskier than usual due to market current conditions, lower risk or skip this trade entirely, however, this trade does have a W formation on the weekly suggesting there might be a last pullback down off the resistance, we have space of around 40-50 pips until we reach the lower timeframe support, the markets are heavily overextended and there are no great setups to take, I like this one, but it's a good one, not a great one. ✅👍
USDCAD seems to resist the weekly trendHey Traders, USDCAD have attended an important weekly zone and now seems to be rejecting it. in tomorrow's trading session i will be watching a selling opportunity around 1.385 supply and demand zone at the trend, if CPI data on Tuesday comes above expectations i would expect a trend breakout as that signals more hawkish monetary policy and more of Dollar strength over commodities, if CPI comes soft i would set 1.34 as a target as it's considered the next major support zone USDCAD will be facing.
Trade safe, Joe.

USDCAD Outlook 9th March 2023Overnight, the Bank of Canada (BoC) released its decision to hold interest rates at the 4.50% level. This was in line with the overall market forecast.
However, the decision to hold rates saw the Canadian Dollar weaken (while the DXY remained on its bullish uptrend), resulting in the USDCAD claiming new highs, testing the 1.38 resistance area.
If the DXY gains further strength and breaks out to the upside, the USDCAD could first retrace briefly to test the upward trendline, before continuing to climb higher, with the next key resistance level at 1.39.
Alternatively, if the price action develops to signal a rejection of the 1.38 resistance level, the price could retrace down to the intermediate support level of 1.3740.
