USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis April 20, 2017

USD/CAD is currently going through a good amount of volatility in the market. There had been bearish impulsive movement with a great pressure which was recently taken out by bullish impulsive moves. We have observed price exhaustions for several times in this pair and currently sentimental confusion going on in USD/CAD. Yesterday CAD Gov. Council Member Wilkins spoke about the key interest rates and monetary policy which did not provide any positive outcome for the currency, as a result USD gained a good amount of strength closing above 1.3450 yesterday. On the USD side, today market is expected to be quite volatile as important economic events like Philly Fed Manufacturing Index is going to be published which is expected to be at 25.6 which previously was at 32.8 and along with it Unemployment Claims report is going to be published which is expected to show an increase to 241K which previously was at 234K. If USD news comes positive today, we might see the pair climbing up much higher in the coming days.

Now let us look at the technical view, the price has again managed to enter the channel area with a daily close above 1.3450. As of the bullish impulsive pressure and taking out the prior swing on the upside, it is expected that the price will move towards 1.3535-50 resistance area and if the resistance area is taken out with a daily close then we will be looking forward to further upside movement towards 1.40.
