A new trading week is underway, and the Canadian dollar continues to show signs of weakening momentum. This can be seen in recent USD/CAD price action, with the pair gaining nearly 0.7% over the last four trading sessions.
Recent trading sessions have not been particularly favorable for the Canadian dollar. USD/CAD has now recorded four consecutive bullish sessions, accumulating gains of more than 1.00% in favor of the U.S. dollar.

Over recent trading sessions, a growing sense of indecision has once again become evident around USD/CAD price action.

Over the last few sessions, the USD/CAD has seen a slight appreciation of nearly 0.3% in favor of the US dollar. However, beyond this mild bias, the broader chart picture reflects a prolonged consolidation.
USD/CAD threatened a breakout after the last Fed meeting but ultimately failed to leave the 1.4200 level behind. Since then, 1.4000 has come in as key support but can bulls maintain the move through this FOMC announcement?
