FxWirePro: USD/CAD maintains bullish bias with focus on 1.3150
Wednesday, August 3, 2016 6:22 PM UTC
- USD/CAD initially inched higher after the release of US ADP Employment data in the early US session, but the commodity related currency pair declined after a larger-than-expected gasoline draw offset a surprise build in crude stockpiles.
- U.S. crude inventories rose for a second week in row, gaining 1.4 million barrels last week, compared with analysts' expectations for a decrease of 1.4 million barrels.
- The pair remains in bullish territory unless until it trades above 1.2985 levels, therefore its good buy this pair around 1.3000 levels.
- The immediate support can be seen at 1.3060, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3024.
- Major resistance can be seen at 1.3147, break above this level will expose it towards 1.3200 levels.
