USDCAD moves lower after BOC Macklem’s comments

Technical Analysis

USDCAD falls below its 200 hour moving average

The USDCAD has moved lower after BOC Macklem’s more hawkish comments.

Technically the price moved below its 200-hour moving average at 1.3662. And now approaches the 38.2% retracement of the move up from the September 19 low at 1.3629 and more importantly the 100-hour moving average at 1.36152.

Earlier this week, the price based near its 50% midpoint of the move up from the September 19 low at 1.35813 (see chart below). Looking at the 4-hour chart below, the price also based at week lows, against the 200 bar moving average (see greenline on the chart below).

Going forward, keep that moving average and 50% retracement in mind on further selling (into next week). A break below it would increase the bearish bias. Staying above it on a test would also be a “tell” for buyers and sellers.

For now, sellers are making play below its 200-hour moving average at 1.3662.
