Canadian Dollar Technical Outlook: USD/CAD Multi-Timeframe Analysis
USD/CAD technical analysis shows the pair rallying nearly 2.4% off a major pivot zone as Federal Reserve hike bets lift the U.S. dollar. Michael Boutros, StoneX Media Senior Market Analyst, breaks down the USD/CAD rebound across the weekly, daily and near-term charts. The rally now meets a dense cluster of Fibonacci retracement resistance and weekly closing levels that has capped the advance in the near term. Markets price a Fed rate hike in December as all but certain and an 88% chance of a second hike by March, keeping U.S. dollar strength in focus against the Canadian dollar. The pitchfork structure on the chart separates a routine pullback from a deeper washout and marks the break that would challenge the broader uptrend. U.S. producer price index data, jobless claims and a lineup of Fed speakers add event risk for the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar alike.
