- GBP/CAD is extending range trade along 200-DMA, bias remains bearish.
- Price action has been rejected at 100-DMA and the pair has slipped below daily cloud.
- Momentum studies are bearish. RSI is below 50 mark and Stcoks are in oversold zone.
- Spike in oil prices is likely to keep the Canadian dollar supported, thus weighing on the pair.
- US oil spiked over supply considerations as Libya's National Oil Corporation declared 'force majeure', or unforeseeable circumstances on key oil supplies.
- Unexpected rise in UK construction PMI supports the pound. UK construction PMI unexpectedly rose to 53.1 in June, seven-month highs.
- GBP/CAD largely muted. Upside remains capped at 5-DMA which is sharply lower.
- Break below 200-DMA will see further weakness. While on the upside, we see bearish invalidation only above 100-DMA.
