USD/CAD technical analysis for January 4, 2011

 

Support levels: 0.9930, 0.9820, 0.9750
Resistance levels: 1.0212, 1.0290, 1.0380
On a 4-hour graph the USD/CAD has dropped to 0.9891. At the moment the viewpoint to the pair is bearish.
As mentioned before, low trading volume caused exaggerated fluctuations of this currency pair last week. Therefore the bears have easily broken the 0.9980 support level. The breakout of this level allowed this pair to reach 0.9820 with 0.9750 as the next target.
Nevertheless, if a reversal takes place and the USD/CAD breaks the 1.0212 resistance level, this will lead to upside motion with the target to 1.0290. Further breakout of 1.0380 will denote the end of a rollback from 1.0680 and that further advance should be expected.
In the midterm the breakout of the support level at 0.9930 indicated continuing midterm downtrend from 1.3063 (2009 high) with 0.9700 as a target. However, this downside movement is probably a correction, and strong support level is located near 0.9056-0.9700.
Thus, in case the reversal takes place, then the breakout of 1.0851 will confirm that the downtrend from 1.3063 is broken through. In this case it is expected that the USD/CAD will move upside to the resistance level at 1.1126 with 1.1866 as the next target.
