Wednesday, May 4, 2016 5:14 PM UTC
- USD/CAD pair rose on Wednesday as Canadian dollar was weighted down by falling crude oil prices and disappointing domestic trade data.
- The intraday trend remains bullish for the pair as the oil co-related Canadian dollar has shown weakness against US dollar lately as the oil prices slipped towards 44$ per barrel as excess supply continued to weigh on the commodity.
- The currency pair is trading at 1.2881 levels, it is expected to reach 1.2930 and later towards 1.2960 levels in the short term.
- The immediate support can be seen at 1.2881, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2805.
- Major resistance can be seen at 1.2938, break above this level will expose it towards 1.2990 levels.
