USD/CAD Price Analysis: Buyers need acceptance from 1.3620
- USD/CAD clings to mild gains after defying a bullish chart formation.
- Upbeat oscillators, sustained trading beyond previous resistance line keep buyers hopeful.
- 100-DMA appears the key support, Loonie buyers have multiple hurdles on the north.
USD/CAD bulls struggle to keep the reins around the 1.3600 threshold during early Thursday in Europe.
The Loonie pair’s latest grinds could be linked to the mixed technical signals witnessed on the Daily chart, as well as the market’s inaction.
That said, the USD/CAD pair slipped beneath a two-week-old bullish channel’s lower line the previous day, which in turn suggested the quote’s declines towards the resistance-turned-support from mid-December 2022, close to 1.3550 by the press time.
However, the 100-DMA level surrounding the 1.3500 threshold and multiple tops marked during late January, as well as early February, near 1.3470, could challenge the USD/CAD bears past 1.3550.
Alternatively, the bullish MACD signals and upbeat RSI (14), not oversold, keeps USD/CAD buyers hopeful of bouncing back beyond the previous support line of the stated channel, near 1.3620.
Following that, the tops marked in February and January, respectively around 1.3665 and 1.3685 will precede the December 16, 2022 swing high of 1.3705 to challenge the USD/CAD buyers.
To sum up, USD/CAD is likely to remain sidelined between the previous support line surrounding 1.3550 and the immediate channel’s lower line of near 1.3620.
