USDCAD on Friday dropped -0.18% to 1.31980. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in oversold zone. For the week ending 2023-06-16, the pair dropped -1.07% or -143 pips lower.
Looking ahead on Monday, USDCAD looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Friday trading session.
For the new week, our technical outlook looks bearish, immediate support level is at 1.31201 (WS1) with break below could see further selling pressure towards 1.30423 (WS2). For potential buyers, as the current momentum is bearish, we prefer to look at firm break of the week high of 1.33836 as an important indicator of buying interest. Failure to break the resistance level would continue to echo bearish sentiment. A close below week low of 1.31740 would indicate selling pressure.
For the month of June, USDCAD is down by -2.74% or -372 pips lower.
