Tuesday, August 9, 2016 2:01 PM UTC
- Canadian dollar firmed against US dollar on Tuesday, after Canadian dollar gathered some momentum as oil rose as forecasts for a drop in U.S. inventories and speculation of producer action to prop up prices countered concern about a supply glut.
- However, intraday trend remains bullish for the pair as the oil-correlated Canadian dollar is set to come under pressure from strengthening dollar in the short term.
- The currency pair is trading around 1.3133 levels, it is expected to reach 1.3200 levels and 1.3250 levels in the short term.
- The immediate support can be seen at 1.3100, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3052.
- Major resistance can be seen at 1.3200, break above this level will expose it towards 1.3252 levels.
