Long-Term Support Levels Holding For The USD/CAD
Thus far in November, the USD/CAD has experienced a sell-off from October highs. The recent jump in crude oil pricing has been good to the Canadian dollar. For the past five sessions, it has gained in the neighborhood of 150 pips against the greenback.
Today’s forex session has continued this trend, with a moderate sell-off testing important long-term or “macro” support levels. If price action is cooperative, we may be in a position to trade the USD/CAD in coming sessions.
USD/CAD Outlook
This morning’s release of the Canadian housing metrics brought positive news. Housing Starts year-over-year for October came in nearly 13 thousand above projections. The month-over-month gain in Building Permits of four percent is a surprise going into the harsh Canadian Winter.
