Canadian Dollar Price Chart – USD/CAD 240min

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/CAD on TradingView

Notes: USD/CAD is testing uptrend support at the lower parallel of the May slope. The weekly opening range is taking shape just above – look for the breakout for guidance here. Initial support rests with the November high-day close at 1.4109 backed by the 23.6% retracement of the May advance at 1.4084. Losses below this threshold would suggest a more significant high is in place and a larger trend reversal is underway towards the 2022 high / 38.2% retracement at 1.3978/82.

Monthly open resistance stands at 1.4197 with key resistance steady at the March 2025 swing lows at 1.4235/39. A breach / daily close above this pivot zone is needed to fuel the next major leg of the advance towards the 61.8% retracement of the 2025 decline at 1.4292.

Bottom line: USD/CAD is trading into multi-month uptrend support – look for a breakout of the week opening range. From a trading standpoint, losses would need to be limited to 1.4084 IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above 1.4239 needed to fuel the next leg of the rally. Keep in mind we get the release of key U.S. inflation data tomorrow ahead of the BoC rate decision. Stay nimble into the releases and watch the daily close for guidance.

Swiss Franc Price Chart – USD/CHF 240min

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/CHF on TradingView

Notes: USD/CHF is testing major resistance into the start of the week at 8100/25- a region defined by the November high-day close (HDC), the August high close, and the November swing high. This key pivot has been a major inflection zone since last year and a breach / daily close above is needed to fuel the next leg of the rally.

A topside breach exposes the medina-line (currently near ~8150s) backed by the 100% extension of the January advance and he 38.2% retracement of the 2025 decline at 8200/15. Look for a larger reaction there IF reached.

Monthly open support rests at 8083 backed closely by the January high at 8041. Bullish invalidation remains with the 38.2% retracement of the May advance and the April high-day close (HDC) at 7995-8009. A break / daily close below this threshold would suggest a more significant high was registered and a larger trend reversal is underway.

Bottom line: USD/CHF is testing major resistance at a key technical pivot zone. From a trading standpoint, losses should be limited to the lower parallel IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above 8125 needed to fuel the next leg higher.
