USD/CAD Price Analysis: Tuesday’s Doji candlestick renews bullish bias above 1.3300
|- USD/CAD remains sidelined after reversing from two-week low.
- Bullish candlestick formation, clear bounce off 1.3270 support confluence lure buyers.
- November 2022 low adds to the downside filters.
USD/CAD treads water around 1.3330 during early Wednesday, following a volatile day that initially refreshed two-week bottom before bouncing off the 1.3270 support confluence to end the day near 1.3337. In doing so, the Loonie pair portrayed a bullish Doji candlestick on Tuesday.
Not only the candlestick and the recovery from the convergence of the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a three-month-old ascending trend line but steady RSI (14) and a lack of bearish MACD signals also underpin the bullish bias for the USD/CAD pair.
That said, the 21-day EMA level surrounding 1.3385 guards immediate USD/CAD rebound ahead of the 1.3400 round figure and the monthly peak of near 1.3475.
Following that, a run-up towards the January 19 swing high of 1.3520 and then to the previous monthly high near 1.3685 can’t be ruled out.
On the flip side, the aforementioned support confluence challenges the USD/CAD bears around 1.3270, a break of which will need validation from the lows marked in February 2023 and November 2022, respectively near 1.3260 and 1.3225, to convince Loonie pair bears.
Even so, the 1.3200 threshold could act as the last defense of the pair buyers.
Overall, USD/CAD is up for a short-term rebound but the buyers seek validation from the 21-day EMA.
