USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Hourly MAs indicate dips could be short-lived
- The bearish divergence of the hourly chart relative strength index is signaling bullish exhaustion in the USD/CAD, however, pull back, if any, will likely be short-lived as the stacking order of the 50-hour moving average (MA), above the 100-hour MA, above the 200-hour MA, a classic bullish setup, indicates the path of least resistance is on the higher side.
- As of writing, the spot is trading in a sideways channel. An upside breakout would signal a continuation of the rally, set in motion by the falling channel breakout.
