Daily U.S. Dollar Technical Analysis (USD/CAD)
Looking at price action on the above USD/CAD four hour price chart, the almighty dollar has been recovering from the downside barrier of the falling channel. Price action is also above the daily upside barrier lining up at 1.2066.
The MACD histogram does have a bearish bias as does the relative strength index (RSI). A daily close above the falling price channel, however, will keep the greenback buyers hopeful.
A daily close above the upside barrier lining up at 1.2085 should be the catalyst USD/CAD traders need to challenge the weekly high price point that is in play at 1.22. The early May high price point lining up at 1.2265 then comes into focus.
On the downside, a daily close below the channel support lining up near 1.1990 brings the downside barrier lining up at 1.1975.
