Daily U.S. Dollar Technical Analysis (USD/CAD)
Looking at price action on the above USD/CAD chart, the relative strength index (RSI) is normal but traders are looking to take the almighty dollar down to test the technical support level in play at 1.3115.
If the dollar breaks below this downside barrier, the next layer of technical support lines up at 1.31. The September monthly low price point then comes into focus at 1.2994.
On the flip side, a daily close above the technical layer of resistance in play at 1.3160 will bring the falling trend line from 30 September into focus. This upside barrier lines up at 1.3180 with the upside congestion zone, which is supported by the fifty (50) day simple moving average at 1.32 to 1.3210 into focus next.
A sustained close above the 50 day SMA opens the door for 1.3260 with 1.3340 the coming into the picture.
