Talking Points
- USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Downside Risks Remain While Sub 1.1220
- Bullish Pattern Signaled Intraday Turn
USD/CAD continues to whipsaw wildly in intraday trade which has done little to confirm a Bearish Engulfing pattern on the daily. Yet downside risks may remain for the pair while sub the 1.1220 ceiling. Downside risks are centered on the psychologically-significant 1.1100 handle.

The four hour chart appears more constructive than the daily. A Hammer formation and void of bearish signals suggests the potential for some intraday gains. However, given the context on the daily the extent of an advance may be limited.
