FxWirePro- USDCAD Daily Outlook

Intraday bias - Bullish

USDCAD  regained above 1.2900 on board-based US dollar buying.  US dollar index gained sharply despite weak US GDP data. It shrinks by 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a forecast of -1.5%.  Markets eye the US PCE price index and personal income for further direction.  The minor sell-off in oil prices also pushes the pair further higher. Technically in the 4 -Hour chart, the pair is holding below the short-term (55 EMA), above 21- EMA, and above the long-term moving average of 200 EMA (1.28296). Any violation below 1.2860 confirms a bearish continuation. A dip to 1.2820/1.2778/1.2700 is possible. USDCAD hits an intraday high of 1.29185 and is currently trading around 1.29088.

The near-term resistance is around 1.2920, any breach above targets 1.2955/1.3000/ 1.3080.
