Talking Points

  • USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Longs Preferred
  • Absence of key reversal patterns suggests gains to continue
  • Break Of 1.0810 Paves The Way For Run On 1.0960

USD/CADcould maintain its upward trajectory following a Morning Star formation on the daily and absence of bearish reversal candlesticks. Following the clearance of the 1.0810 mark the June highs near 1.0960 look attainable.

Traders should note that a string of top-tier US data over the session ahead may spark significant volatility that voids some of the technical signals offered.

A similar narrative to the daily is evident on the four hour timeframe with bearish candlesticks lacking. This casts doubt on a potential correction for the pair over the session ahead. Further gains may be in store on a push above intraday resistance at 1.0870.
