The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the Canadian Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the US Dollar, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent CAD (base)/USD (quote).
Technical outlook: Canadian Dollar broadly rebounds on Tuesday
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) took a step higher on Tuesday, recovering near-term losses and climbing around one-third of one percent against the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), and Japanese Yen (JPY) for the day. The CAD is firmly on pace to be Tuesday’s single best-performing currency among the major currencies.
USD/CAD has tumbled back below the 1.3700 handle after tapping a fresh near-term peak around 1.3755 this week. Intraday price action remains volatile, leaving plenty of churn on the chart. Daily candlesticks remain hung up on the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3680. USD/CAD continues to trade north of the 200-day EMA at 1.3588, but bullish momentum has failed to chalk in fresh gains since peaking just shy of 1.3850 in April.
