USD/CAD Falls Sharply Toward 1.3900 Support as Bears Target 1.3800

3 articles · Updated · continuumeconomics.com · Aug 7

Summary

  • USD/CAD slid sharply in both USD- and CAD-driven trade, putting immediate focus on strong support at 1.3900 after cautious trading gave way to the expected downside move.
  • Daily stochastics are already oversold, which could slow an initial break in the pair and trigger brief consolidation around 1.3900.
  • A close below 1.3900 would extend the late-June decline toward 1.3820 and 1.3800, with 1.3715 the next deeper retracement level.
  • Resistance has been lowered to 1.4000; a close back above that level would help stabilize price action and keep consolidation capped below 1.4050.
