Talking Points:

• USD/CAD Technical Strategy: Flat

• Support: 1.2524, 1.2448, 1.2372

• Resistance: 1.2618, 1.2770, 1.2922

The US Dollar continues to consolidate above the 1.25 figure against its Canadian counterpart having advanced to the highest level in three months. A daily close above the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion at 1.2618 exposes the 100% level at 1.2770. Alternatively, a turn below the 61.8% Fib at 1.2524 opens the door for a challenge of the 50% expansion at 1.2448.

The available trading range is too narrow to justify entering a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now, waiting for price action to offer a more compelling opportunity down the road.
