FxWirePro: USD/CAD changes short term trend from bullish to bearish

  • The USD/CAD pair declined on Thursday as the Canadian dollar was boosted by higher oil prices and stronger-than-expected domestic retail sales data.
     
  • Canadian retail sales rose 0.8 percent in April from March to C$48.64 billion. Analysts had forecast an increase of 0.2 percent.
     
  • Oil, one of Canada's major exports, edged up from multi-month lows, but prices remained under pressure from a supply glut that has persisted despite the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries' efforts to balance the market.
     
  • Currently, the currency pair is trading at 1.3236 levels, it is set to decline further towards 1.3180 and later 1.3150 levels in the short term.
     
  • The immediate support can be seen at 1.3207, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3163.
     
  • Major resistance can be seen at 1.3352, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3400 levels.
