FX.co ★ USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for September 18, 2013

Two months ago, a prominent bottom was established around 1.0260. This happened after the pair established a consolidation range between 1.0450-1.0560 that expressed a false bullish breakout above 1.0555, which was followed by intensive bearish pressure that led to the breakdown of 1.0450 and 1.0380 with a record low of 1.0254.

Important level was located around 1.0505 (a previous mid-range). This was the key level for last week's movement as re-closure below it enabled the pair to breakdown 1.0455 too, where the lower limit of the depicted consolidation range was located.

The nearest support zone is located around 1.0330-1.0300, where bullish rejection was expressed two days ago with failure to breakdown also yesterday.

The current levels will probably push the pair again towards 1.0450. Lack of bearish follow-up was witnessed in yesterday's daily candlestick.

The price level around 1.0455 remains the nearest considerable resistance for the pair, a valid SELL entry is recommended at retesting with SL located above 1.0500.
