Canadian Dollar Outlook: USD/CAD
USD/CAD cracks the November low (1.3821) ahead of Canada’s federal election on April 28, with the weakness in the exchange rate pushing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) toward oversold territory.
Canadian Dollar Forecast: USD/CAD Cracks November Low Ahead of Election
USD/CAD remains under pressure after registering a fresh yearly low (1.3781) at the start of the week, and a move below 30 in the RSI is likely to be accompanied by a further decline in the exchange rate like the price action from last year.

In turn, USD/CAD may continue to give back the advance from the October low (1.3473) as the Bank of Canada (BoC) moves to the sidelines, and it seems as though the central bank is at or nearing the end of its rate-cutting cycle as Governor Tiff Macklem and Co. plan to ‘proceed carefully.’
With that said, the weakness in USD/CAD may persist as it snaps the range bound price action from last week, but the RSI may show the bearish momentum abating should it struggle to push into oversold territory.
