Talking Points:

• USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 1.2328, 1.2181, 1.2035

• Resistance: 1.2646, 1.2827, 1.2973

The US Dollar remains locked in a familiar range below the 1.27 figure against its Canadian counterpart after turning lower as expected. A daily close below the 1.2328-81area marked by the 38.2%Fibonacci retracement and the January 27 low exposes the 50% level at 1.2181. Alternatively, a turn above the 1.2573-46 region (trend line, 23.6% Fib expansion) clears the way for a test of the 1.2801-27 zone (January 30 high, 38.2% expansion).

On balance, the overall USD/CAD trend continues to favor the upside. With that in mind, we will look to any on-coming weakness as an opportunity to establish a long position at more attractive levels once the downswing is exhausted.
