Talking Points

  • USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
  • Doji Candlestick Indicated Reluctance From The Bulls
  • H4 Chart Highlights Indecision Near the 1.1220 Floor

USD/CAD is at a critical juncture as it probes below the 1.1220 floor after a Doji signaled reluctance from the bulls to lead the pair. A daily close under the barrier may be the precursor to a deeper setback. Yet it’s susceptibility to intraday whipsaws suggests caution is warranted when adopting fresh positioning.

The four hour chart highlights the extent of hesitation from traders near the 1.1215/20 barrier. A parade of Dojis does little to offer a clear directional bias over the session ahead. A close below the nearby floor would be required to warn of a more significant correction. .
