The USD/CAD pair was trading in oversold position within a wide range bearish channel which is depicted on the chart in red.
Recently, the USD/CAD pair broke through the upper limit of the short term bearish channel which is depicted on the chart in Blue indicating a possible bullish retracement towards the price level of 0.9970 seen on Wednesday with successful retesting of the backside of the broken channel at 0.9888.
Breakout above the bearish Blue channel opens the way for the USD/CAD pair to visit the upper limit of the longer-term channel around the price level of 1.0025 as long as the pair is trading above the most recent low around 0.9840. However, the pair is currently facing resistance around price level of 0.9945 where a recent short-term top is located. It needs to be broken in order to resume the movement towards 1.0000.
Price level of 1.0025 not only corresponds to Fibonacci levels of 50% and 78.6% of the most recent two bearish swings, but also corresponds to the upper limit of the long term bearish channel depicted on the chart. That's why price action should be watched there for a possible SELL entry with SL located above 1.0080.
