FxWirePro: USD/CAD edges up ahead of upcoming Fed, BoC meetings

• USD/CAD edged higher but gains were as investors awaited crucial monetary policy decisions in the U.S. and Canada later this week.

•  Immediate resistance is located at 1.3947(50%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.4011(SMA 20).

• Support is seen at 1.3803(38.2%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 1.3786 ( Lower BB).
