USD/CAD Price Analysis: Bears making their move for 1.3750 key daily support

  • USD/CAD bears have pounced from 1.3800 for a move into the 1.3750s.
  • 1.3750 is a key area of support given the daily trendline.

USD/CAD is on the move to the downside with 1.3750 on the bear's radar. The price is falling towards trendline support on the daily chart while having already broken the 1.378- structure leaving the bias firmly on the downside for the time being:

The monthly chart's outlook is bullish although a meanwhile correction is starting to take shape with the key Fibonaccis lining up with the prior structure looking left. That being said, as the daily chart below illustrates, should the trendline support hold on what a[[ears to be an inevitable test, then the upside will remain the favored scenario.

At this juncture, the price has already bolted:

The bears have moved into the kill for the 1.3750s. This is an area of imbalance that is being mitigated at the time of writing with bears pouncing from 1.3800 structure. If this area of support were to give, then 1.3700/20 will be the next reasonable target given the point of control.

However, the daily trendline support should be noted which reinforces 1.3720/50 as support.
