What can we expect from USDCAD for the new week and what happened on Friday?
USDCAD on Friday rose 0.12% to 1.34737. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising. For the week ending 2023-02-17, the pair rose 0.99% or 131.7 pips higher.
Looking ahead on Monday after previous session, USDCAD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 1.32730.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last week high of 1.35371 or at least trades above Weekly Pivot level of 1.34279. On the downside, we are looking at last week low 1.32730 or 1.33188 (WS1) as immediate support level. USDCAD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.35371 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the month of February, USDCAD is up by 1.27% or 168.6 pips higher.
