USDCAD Technical Analysis – We are at a key support zone

Fundamental
Overview

The US Dollar continues to
consolidate despite the higher-than-expected inflation figures and a less
dovish Powell last week. The market’s pricing remained largely unchanged at
three rate cuts by the end of 2025.

This is generally a signal
that the market is fine with the current pricing, and we would need stronger
reasons to price out the remaining rate cuts. This could lead to some general
US Dollar weakness in the short term.

On the CAD side, we had the
Canadian
CPI this week and the data came in stronger than expected. This decreased
the chances of a 50 bps cut in December with the market now seeing 90 bps of
easing by the end of 2025 compared to 98 bps before the CPI report.

Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe

USDCAD Daily

On the daily chart, we can
see that USDCAD pulled back into a key support
zone around the 1.3960 level where we can also find the major trendline
for confluence.
This is where the buyers will likely step in with a defined risk below the
support to position for a rally into new highs. The sellers, on the other hand,
will want to see the price breaking lower to increase the bearish bets into the
1.3818 level next.

bets into the 1.3818 level.
