USD/CAD – 1.1200 Remains the Key Support Area

FXOpen

USD/CAD tried to extend upward movement on Monday, but dragged from 1.1225 down to the 1.1220 level. 1.1210 remains the key support, the psychological number and 23.6% fib level. On breaching this support, a bearish breakout will be seen. However, the overall bias is bullish because of the Higher Low on the daily chart.

On the upside, an immediate resistance lies around 1.1224, as demonstrated by the trend line in the following chart. Breaking this resistance will invalidate the bearish breakout that can spur a renewed buying interest confirming a new upside rally towards the next resistance that can be seen around 1.1297, the high of the previous week.

On the downside, a support can be seen around 1.1097, the 38.2% fib level, ahead of 1.1070, the 50-day SMA. The bias will remain bullish unless the price succeeds in breaching the support around 1.1184.
