USD/CAD Intraday Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for September 12, 2012

The USD/CAD pair found resistance around the price level of 0.9915 corresponding to the upper limit of the bearish channel breaking down the lower limit of the consolidation range at 0.9845 which previously acted as support level recently.

After breakdown of 0.9845, the market went to the downside reaching the price level of 0.9722, achieving the full target for this range bearish breakout located at 0.9745.

Price level of 0.9845 should be watched for price action at retesting as it will probably offer a valid SELL entry with target at the lower limit of the channel around 0.9730. However, fixation above 0.9845 threatens again the bearish view considering this breakdown as a trap for sellers.

It seems like the price level of 0.9710 is constituting an intraday Support level, fixation above this level will allow the USD/CAD pair to move higher. However, breakdown of this level will allow the pair to have another bearish swing.
