USDCAD Technical Analysis – 18-June-2024

The technical indicators in the 4-hour chart suggest the USD/CAD primary trend is bullish, but currently, it lacks significant momentum and is trading sideways.

• The USD/CAD price is above the simple moving averages of 50 and 100, meaning the bullish trend prevails.
• The awesome oscillator indicator bars are small, red, and below zero, signifying the bullish momentum weakening.

USDCAD Price Forecast – 18-June-2024

Immediate resistance is at 1.375, slightly above the descending trendline and the 61.8% Fibonacci. The price is declining from the trendline at the moment, moving toward the apex of the symmetrical triangle.

From a technical standpoint, for the primary trend to resume, bulls must close and stabilize the price above the immediate resistance at 1.375. If this scenario unfolds, the 78.6% Fibonacci at 1.379 will be the next resistance area. Furthermore, if the buying pressure exceeds 1.379, April’s all-time high at 1.384 will likely be tested again. 

The ascending trendline and the %50 Fibonacci level at 1.371 support the bullish scenario. The bullish scenario should be invalidated if the USD/CAD price dips below 1.371.

USD/CAD Bearish Scenario

The key resistance level is at the 50% Fibonacci level, the 1.371 mark. If the U.S. dollar price dips below 1.371 against the Canadian dollar, the bearish momentum from June 11 from 1.379 will likely test the 38.2% Fibonacci at 1.368.

Furthermore, if the selling pressure exceeds 1.368, the 23.6% Fibonacci will be the next resistance area.

Traders and investors should closely monitor the key levels below to make informed decisions and adjust their strategies accordingly as market conditions shift.

• Support: 1.371 / 1.368 / 1.365
