FxWirePro: GBP/CAD consolidates 200-DMA breakout, minor weakness likely on break below 5-DMA at 1.6917

• GBP/CAD consolidates 200-DMA breakout shown last week, bias still higher.
   
• The pair finds stiff resistance at 1.70 levels (trendline), break above will see further upside.
   
• Momentum studies are bullish. Weekly charts also support bias higher.
   
• Technical indicators on weekly charts also support upside in the pair. RSI and Stochs sharply higher, MACD shows bullish crossover.
   
• Price action has pierced into weekly cloud and is on track to test weekly 100-SMA at 1.7461.
   
• On the flipside, 5-DMA at 1.6918 is immediate support, minor weakness likely on break below.
   
• We see bullish invalidation only on break below 200-DMA at 1.6696.
   
• Focus will be on Canada August monthly GDP growth and Industrial Product Price Index ahead of the BoC Governor Poloz's speech later in the day for further impetus.

Support levels - 1.6917 (5-DMA), 1.69, 1.6845 (50% Fib retracement of 1.7853 to 1.5837 fall)

Resistance levels - 1.70 (trendline), 1.7083 (61.8% Fib), 1.7120 (Nov 2016 high), 1.7461 (weekly 100-SMA)
