FxWirePro: EUR/CAD holds 20-DMA support, good to go short on break below

  • The Canadian dollar supported by BoC positive statements post meeting where it held rates unchanged overnight.
     
  • Brent oil regained bid tone in Asia to trade above the $54.00 mark on speculation the OPEC is set to extend the oil output cut deal by nine months.
     
  • Oil prices up over 1% on the day, keep the CAD buoyed. Investors largely ignored a smaller-than-expected US gasoline stocks draw.
     
  • ECB President Mario Draghi reiterated that there is no need to deviate from the current monetary policy stance denting market expectations.
     
  • Draghi's comments weighed on the euro, dragging EUR/CAD lower on Wednesday.
     
  • EUR/CAD remains capped below 61.8% Fibo 1.6105 to 1.3784 fall at 1.5218. Upside only on break above.
     
  • Further, price action is showing a bearish divergence from RSI and Stochs which adds to the downside bias.

Support levels - 1.5010 (20-DMA), 1.4944 (50% Fibo 1.6105 to 1.3784 fall), 1.49, 1.4823 (May 10 low)

Resistance levels - 1.5102 (5-DMA), 1.5218 (61.8% Fib), 1.5281 (Nov 9 high)

Recommendation: Watch out for break below 20-DMA to go short.
