Talking Points

  • Strategy: Flat, Long On Close > 1.1460

  • Doji Suggests Indecision From Traders Near 1.1280

  • Morning StarFormation Awaiting Confirmation

USD/CAD has posted a Dojion the daily, which signals reluctance from the bears to drag the pair lower. With a medium-term uptrend intact the latest pullback could prove transitory. Clearance of former support-turned-resistance at 1.1380 may open a retest of the recent peak at 1.1460.
