FxWirePro: USD/CAD strongly bearish despite upside attempts

  • The USD/CAD pair declined on Thursday as greenback sank a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve refrained from signaling an acceleration of interest rate hikes.
     
  • The Fed raised rates for a second time in three months on Wednesday but both the policy-setting committee and Chair Janet Yellen said future increases will be gradual.
     
  • The move dashed market expectations that the U.S. central bank would adopt hawkish rhetoric following a batch of stronger-than-expected economic indicators.
     
  • The currency pair is trading around 1.3320 levels and it is set to decline towards 1.3270 and 1.3240 in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.3384, a break above will take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.3480.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.3277 levels, a break below will open the door towards next level at 1.3208.
