- The single currency supported by better-than-expected flash Euro-zone PMI prints for September.
- ECB President Mario Draghi refrained from commenting anything on the monetary policy and the recent Euro strength, providing further boost.

- EUR/CAD has bounced off from weekly 200-SMA which is strong support at 1.4507.
- Price action currently hovers around 50-DMA (1.4747) which is offering stiff resistance.

- On the flipside, close below 20-DMA at 1.4694 could see minor weakness.
Support levels - 1.4703 (5-DMA), 1.4693 (20-DMA), 1.4634 (23.6% Fib of 1.5258 to 1442)
Resistance levels - 1.4747 (50-DMA), 1.4812 (Sept 6 highs), 1.4834 (100-DMA), 1.4946 (61.8% Fib retrace of 1.52580 to 1.44422 fall), 1.5020 (trendline)
