USD/CAD: The Canadian dollar strengthened to its highest
level in nearly six weeks against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, as investors
focused on underlying factors supportive of the currency and awaited a Federal
Reserve policy decision later this week. The price of oil, one of Canada's
major exports, settled 0.4% lower at $61.91 a barrel, pressured by fears that
surging COVID-19 cases in India will dent fuel demand in the world's
third-biggest oil importer.
The USD CAD was trading 0.6% higher at 1.2400 to the dollar,
having touched its strongest intraday level since March 18 at 1.2383.
Technical Analysis
The pair is trading below the 50-day moving average at the
bottom of the demand area, but we can notice the building of a strong support
area at 1.23833, as that area represents a double bottom pattern, so we prefer
to buy from that area as the pair tested that area before last March, so we
expect some The rise towards 50% Fibonacci 1.5147
Below 1.238, the pair will push towards 1.230 psychological
support levels
The trading range today is 65 points
