Since our last analysis the USD/CAD pair was trading in a upward move, developing impulsive (3) wave (coloured purple) of the bigger A wave (coloured blue). Yesterday, during the Asian and European sessions, we could observe an ascending movement from 0.9714 towards the 0.9744 level. Therefore, during the New York session, this major pair continued trading in a bullish mood and the price reached 0.9768 level (new daily high). At the moment, the USD/CAD pair is developing final (5) wave (coloured purple) and we are expecting to see the price around 0.9750 level today. In accordance with our wave rules and taking into account that the wave B retraces 61.8% of the wave A, we can define the potential targets with Fibonacci retracements (0.9713-0.9790) with Take Profit at 0.9745 (61.8% of wave A). Resistance Point at 0.9800 can be used as Stop Loss.
