USD/CAD rally was short lived
With the fall in oil comes a decline in the USD/CAD pair. The pair was already in a medium-term downtrend but recently had been rallying with oil. Crude oil prices made their way to nearly $50 this month which provided a catalyst for USD/CAD to rally. With the build in oil, today the momentum behind the crude rally is over, and this will weigh on the Loonie.
From a technical perspective, the pair has been consolidating sideways all week near the 1.2950 area which is a support/resistance line tracing back to October 2105 with multiple touch point since then. On an 8 hour chart, the price has run to the median line and has been moving sideways. With each bullish push into the declining pitchfork, the median line has rejected price setting up the reversal.
Current situation:
- The pair has found resistance at the median line of the pitchfork on the 8-hour chart.
- US economic data dominates the calendar Thursday and Friday this week. Next week more US data and Canadian m/m GDP.
Looking ahead:
- Lower oil prices will result in a weaker Loonie. The market currently lacks a catalyst to push oil up over $50. There is another inventory report next Wednesday.
Notes:
- The overnight lending rates of the two currencies are now the same negating any carry benefit for the Loonie.

@dianajs , do you think that the interest rate decision, if it will remain at 0.50%, will give the cad a bullish trend, or will remain its bearish bias?
There is virtually no chance that they'll change the rate. Its all about the statement.
