USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Bull breakout confirmed
- The USD/CAD pair closed yesterday at 1.3188, confirming a falling channel breakout, meaning the sell-off from the 2018 high of 1.3386 has ended and the bull run from the April 17 low of 1.2527 has likely resumed.
- The pair also closed above the key resistance at 1.3175 yesterday. As a result, it seems safe to say that the spot could revisit the yearly high of 1.3386 in the next couple of weeks.
- The falling channel breakout also added credence to the bull flag breakout seen in the monthly chart.
