Thursday, May 25, 2017 4:16 PM UTC
- The USD/CAD pair inched higher in the US session on Thursday as slide in oil prices pressured oil correlated Canadian dollar.
- Oil prices fell as OPEC prepared to extend supply curbs by nine months to March 2018 to drain a glut that has depressed markets for almost three years.
- However, further upside for this pair is limited as the resistance level at 1.3553 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.3501, a break above will take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.3553.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.3448 levels, a break below will open the door towards next level at 1.3384.
