FxWirePro: EUR/CAD holds 50-DMA support at 1.4768, weakness only on break below

  • EUR/CAD has taken support at 50-DMA at 1.4768. We see weakness only on break below.
     
  • The shared currency remains bid following the release of better-than-expected flash Euro-zone PMI prints for August.
     
  • Also, rising market expectations of a possible ECB tapering clues at the Jackson Hole Symposium keep euro supported.
     
  • Technical indicators are still bearish. RSI and stochs are biased lower while MACD shows bearish crossover on signal line.
     
  • The pair is extending decline in a symmetric triangle pattern, break below 50-DMA raises scope for test of triangle base.
     
  • Breach of triangle base then eyes 200-DMA at 1.4461. Bearish invalidation on close above 20-DMA at 1.4859.

Support levels - 1.4819 (5-DMA), 1.4768 (50-DMA), 1.4630 (trendline), 1.4461 (200-DMA)

Resistance levels - 1.4859 (20-DMA), 1.4869 (cloud top), 1.4985 (trendline)

Recommendation: Watch out for decisive break below 50-DMA to go short.
