USD/CAD Price Forecast: Test initial support near 1.3950, followed by nine-day EMA

update 2025.05.19 17:37

  • USD/CAD may find initial resistance at its six-week high of 1.4016.
  • The 14-day RSI remains slightly above 50, indicating continued bullish bias.
  • The immediate support appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.3936.

The USD/CAD pair is losing ground after registering gains in the previous session, trading around 1.3950 during the European hours on Monday. The daily chart's technical analysis suggested a sustained bullish sentiment, as the pair continues to trade within the ascending channel pattern.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains just above 50, indicating continued bullish pressure. Additionally, the USD/CAD pair is also remaining above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), pointing to stronger short-term momentum.

The USD/CAD pair may encounter resistance at its six-week high of 1.4016, which was reached on May 13, followed by the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.4023. A break above this crucial resistance zone could improve the medium-term price momentum and support the pair to test the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.4100.

On the downside, the USD/CAD pair may find immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3936, followed by the ascending channel's lower boundary around the psychological level of 1.3900. A break below this crucial support zone would weaken the short-term price momentum and support the pair to navigate the region around the seven-month low of 1.3750, last seen on May 6.
