  • GBP/CAD is extending weakness for 7th straight week, bias lower.
     
  • Shrinking expectations of a rate hike by the BoE at the May meeting keep GBP subdued.
     
  • While on the other side, the Canadian Dollar has gathered traction following the GDP release.
     
  • Canadian GDP expanded at a monthly 0.4% during February and 3.0% over the last twelve months, both prints coming in above initial expectations.
     
  • Technical indicators are biased lower on daily charts. The pair has broken below 100-DMA.
     
  • Price currently holds support at 38.2% Fib at 1.7430, break below will see further weakness.
     
  • Next major support lies at 110W EMA at 1.7372 ahead of 200-DMA at 1.7090.
     
  • On the flipside, 100-DMA at 1.7597 is immediate resistance, break above will negate bearish bias.
