FxWirePro: USD/CAD stuck in range but maintains bearish bias

  • The USD/CAD pair inched higher on Tuesday as Canadian dollar was pressured by lower oil prices and investors braced for key events later in the week.
     
  • Prices of oil, one of Canada's major exports, retreated on concerns that a diplomatic rift between Qatar and several Arab states including Saudi Arabia could undermine efforts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to tighten the market.
     
  • The Bank of Canada on Thursday will release its review of developments in the financial system, followed by a news conference with Governor Stephen Poloz.
     
  • The Canadian dollar was trading down at 0.1 percent at C$1.3475 to the greenback.
     
  • The pair remains under bears control unless until it trades below 1.3550 resistance level, therefore it is good to sell this pair on rallies.
     
  • The immediate support can be seen at 1.3446, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3400.
     
  • Major resistance can be seen at 1.3550, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3611 levels.
