Medium Term Strategy: Forex Pair of the day
USD/CAD – rebound
The pair is rebounding above the strong horizontal support and overlap at 1.28. Moreover, the daily RSI has rebounded above its oversold area. Further advance is therefore likely with a first target set at 1.3450 (horizontal resistance and September top). A break above this threshold would open the way to further bounce towards 1.40 (May 2004 top). A third target is set at the previous overlap from january 2000 at 1.4320. Only a break below the strong horizontal support at 1.28 would turn the outlook to bearish with a first alternative target set at 1.2560 and a second one set at the horizontal support at 1.24.

 

Intraday Technical Strategy
AUD/USD Intraday: the downside prevails.
Pivot 0.7265
Our preference Short positions below 0.7265 with targets @ 0.718 & 0.716 in extension.
Alternative scenario Above 0.7265 look for further upside with 0.7305 & 0.7345 as targets.
Comment The RSI is bearish and calls for further decline.
