The FX Specialist view – After an initial recovery attempt in Apr/May, USD/CAD has become consolidative – still with the prospect of forming a base, but still without the necessary bull signals to tilt the scales firmly in the bulls’ favour. Not for the first time interesting support has emerged from a 76.4% level…
- WEEKLY CHART:
Earlier in the year the market tested the 76.4% level at 1.0000, also the centre of congestion from 2008, where good support emerged.
At this stage we keep an eye on the 23.6% recovery level, which has so far has been effective (no close above yet).
Beyond here would turn focus on the 38.2% level and Aug-09 high. - DAILY CHART:
See how the 76.4% pullback level on the Daily chart has proved effective.
Ideally this will continue to hold, but sidelined bulls need to see a decent close above the 23.6% level and then break of the 25-May 1.0851 high to feel confident of a continuing medium term recovery.
