USDCAD spent March–early June ranging 1.36–1.40, then broke out mid-June and has rallied for eight straight sessions to 14-month highs near 1.4180, driven by the widening Fed-BoC rate gap and a firm USD rather than data. RSI(14) is deeply overbought above 80, a real mean-reversion warning at this timeframe even as price holds well above a rising EMA(50). The hot Canadian CPI beat failed to dent the loonie, leaving 1.4200 as the next psychological resistance overhead.
Support: 1.40997, 1.4000
Resistance: 1.4200, 1.41827
What it said to watch
Sustained close above 1.4200 opens the path to the 1.4250/1.4335 zone
Loss of the 1.40997 breakout level would mark the first lower-low and threaten the uptrend
BoC Macklem speech (Tue 13:00 UTC) is the nearest catalyst that could shift this read
Extreme overbought RSI warns of a pullback toward 1.40000

Chain of higher highs/lows, parabolic into 14-month high.
USDCAD has broken a multi-month range and rallied roughly eight straight sessions into a 14-month high at 1.41827, driven by the widening Fed-BoC rate gap and a firm USD post-hawkish Fed. Price sits well above a rising EMR(50) with RSI(14) near 85 — genuine D1 overbought territory after a near-vertical leg off the 1.35253 low. The breakout base around 1.4007 and the 1.3950 prior swing now define the structure beneath this extension.
Support: 1.41241, 1.4007, 1.39501
Resistance: 1.41827
What it said to watch
BoC's Macklem speech (Tue 13:00 UTC) is the nearest catalyst for CAD and could shift this read
RSI near 85 flags mean-reversion risk; a daily close back under 1.41241 would mark the first lower high of the run
Loss of 1.4007 breakout base would signal the breakout is failing
