  • NZD/CAD has shown a decisive breakout of 'Symmetric Triangle' pattern raising scope for further weakness.
     
  • The pair is consolidating previous session losses, is trading in a narrow range with a day's high at 0.8834 and low at 0.8822.
     
  • Oil grinding lower on the day after EIA reported the US crude oil inventories went up by 3.803 million barrels during the week.
     
  • Falling oil prices could dent the commodity-linked Loonie, limiting downside in the pair. 
     
  • Technical indicators support weakness in the pair. Momentum is with the bears. Price action is below cloud and major moving averages. 
     
  • We see scope for test of 88.6% Fib at 0.8741. Any bearish invalidation only above 21-EMA.

Support levels - 0.8829 (78.6% Fib), 0.8786 (May 17 low), 0.8741 (88.6% Fib)

Resistance levels - 0.8856 (5-DMA), 0.89, 0.8911 (21-EMA)
