Higher highs and higher lows since the 1.3929 swing low; breakout above the multi-week range top.
USDCAD has carved five consecutive higher lows off the 1.3929 swing low and cleared the 1.4068-1.4080 prior high cluster that capped the window, after Friday's jobs divergence (US NFP 165K vs Canada -4.7K) erased the week's CAD gains. The move is now pressing the 1.4126 week high with EMA20 turned back above EMA50, RSI in overbought territory and ATR(14) expanding to around 30 pips. The 1.4000 round number sits near the 61.8% fib of the rally and marks the base of the breakout leg.
Support: 1.4080, 1.4000, 1.3929
Resistance: 1.4126, 1.4200
What it said to watch
Failure to hold the 1.4080 prior high on an H4 close puts the breakout at risk of a false break back into the old range
A loss of the rally trendline from the 1.3929 swing low would end the higher-low sequence
An H4 close above the 1.4126 week high opens the 1.4200 round number
A slide back through the 1.4000 round number toward the 61.8% fib would undo most of the jobs-driven leg
US CPI and the BoC Summary of Deliberations, both on Tue Nov 10, could materially shift this read
Three-week falling wedge resolved upside; impulse into 1.4068-1.4081 high zone.
Lower highs from the 1.4081 window high down to the 1.4014 lower high, paired with lower lows into the 1.3929 swing low, defined a three-week falling wedge. Price broke out of the wedge this week as the risk-off USD bid erased the post-midterm CAD rally. The roughly 150-pip impulse from 1.3929 has carried price back into the 1.4068 prior high and 1.4081 window high zone, and ATR(14) near 27 pips is expanding out of the wedge compression. Price holds above EMA20 and EMA50, with the fib 38.2 at 1.4023 and the old wedge top around 1.4014 as the first structural support beneath the breakout.
Support: 1.4023, 1.4014, 1.3929
Resistance: 1.4068, 1.4081
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 1.4081 window high clears the top of the three-week range
Rejection at the 1.4068 prior high and 1.4081 window high zone would set up a double top against the wedge breakout
Close back below the 1.4014 lower high returns price inside the falling wedge and negates the breakout
US NFP and Canada LFS, released together at 13:30 GMT, could materially shift this read
Loss of the 1.3929 swing low would resume the lower-low sequence
Falling wedge broken to the upside; lower-high sequence from 1.4082 now being challenged.
After a three-week grind of lower highs from the 1.4082 Oct high into the 1.3929 swing low, USDCAD has broken above the wedge top near 1.4013 and reclaimed the 1.4000 round number. The move came on a risk-off USD bid tied to the AI-equity sell-off, which erased the week's post-midterm CAD gains. Price has now retraced about 95% of the 1.4068–1.3929 swing on the fib and is pressing the 1.4068 prior high, with RSI(14) near 72 and ATR(14) around 25 pips.
Support: 1.4013, 1.4000, 1.3929
Resistance: 1.4068, 1.4082
What it said to watch
US NFP and Canada October jobs, both at 13:30 GMT today, could materially shift this read; the relative surprise between the two matters more than either headline
An H4 close above the 1.4068 prior high and 1.4082 oct high would print a higher high and end the lower-high sequence
A return below the 1.4013 wedge top and 1.4000 round number would mark the breakout as a false break
A drop back toward the 1.3929 swing low would restore the late-October range read
Lower highs from 1.4068; base 1.3929-1.4014 now broken to the upside.
Lower highs since the 1.4068 window high drove the pair into a week-long base between the 1.3929 swing low and a 1.4014 range top that capped three tests. The latest bars broke through that cap on the USD rebound in yields, and price now sits at the 78.6% fib retracement of the 1.4068-1.3929 decline. ATR(14) near 27 pips is compressed, so the break has yet to show trend-extending range expansion.
Support: 1.4014, 1.3929
Resistance: 1.4055, 1.4068
What it said to watch
An H4 close back below the 1.4014 range top would turn the break into a false break
Clearing the 1.4055 prior high and 1.4068 window high would end the lower-high sequence
US NFP and Canada jobs, both at 13:30 UTC today, could materially shift this read
A loss of the 1.3929 swing low would resume the lower-low sequence
Lower highs since late-Oct 1.4068; price breaking above the falling-wedge top.
USDCAD has carved lower highs off the 1.4068 oct high and converged into a falling wedge, with the wedge base giving way only briefly to a 1.3929 nov low as the Democratic-sweep USD sell-off peaked on Wednesday. The swing low at 1.3942 held on the retest, and the subsequent bounce has lifted price through the wedge top near 1.3999 and above both EMAs, stalling at the 61.8% retracement and the 1.4024 swing high. ATR(14) is near 30 pips, a moderate regime, with Friday's simultaneous Canada and US jobs releases the next driver.
Support: 1.3999, 1.3942, 1.3929
Resistance: 1.4024, 1.4055, 1.4068
What it said to watch
H4 close back below the 1.3999 wedge top would mark the breakout as a false break
Sustained trade above the 1.4024 swing high opens the 1.4055 prior high and the 1.4068 oct high
A break of the 1.3942 swing low and 1.3929 nov low resumes the lower-low sequence
Canada employment and US NFP, both Fri 13:30 UTC; the relative surprise could materially shift this read
