Canadian Dollar Technical Outlook: USD/CAD Multi-Timeframe Analysis
USD/CAD technical analysis shows the Canadian dollar stalling in a tight range after an eight of nine week rally, with a clean breakout now in focus. Michael Boutros, Senior Market Analyst at FOREX.com, walks through the USD/CAD setup across the weekly, daily, and four-hour charts and the levels that matter most. Boutros explains why momentum has quieted after the rally, what would confirm a larger reversal versus a resumption of the downtrend, and how the upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision and core PCE inflation reading could steer the U.S. dollar. With oil prices climbing on renewed Middle East tensions, the inflation outlook stays front and center.
