The US Dollar is drifting away from Tuesday's highs at 1.3957 against the Canadian Dollar in Wednesday's early European session. The broader trend remains positive, but failure to breach resistance around the 1.3960 area might trigger a deeper correction.
The fundamental background is not particularly supportive for the US Dollar, as weak labour data are boosting hopes of Fed cuts in the coming months, but the broad-based Canadian Dollar's weakness keeps the USD afloat for now.
The technical picture shows a potential double top right above 1.3960 (September 26, October 1 lows), a common pattern for trend shifts. In the 4-hour charts, a bearish divergence on the Relative Strength IIndex (RSI) endorses this view.
Price action is still well above the DT's trendline, at the September 30 low of 1.3895. Below here, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the late September rally is at 1.3869. The pattern's measured target is at the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the mentioned cycle, at 1.3842.
A confirmation above the 1.3960 level, on the other hand, cancels this view and shifts the focus towards the trendline resistance, at the 1.4000 area and the mid-May highs, at 1.4020.
