USDCAD resistance breakout at 1.3767The USDCAD remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a corrective pullback within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 1.3730 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.
A bullish rebound from 1.3730 would confirm ongoing upside momentum, with potential targets at:
1.3830 – initial resistance
1.3860 – psychological and structural level
1.3890 – extended resistance on the longer-term chart
Bearish Scenario:
A confirmed break and daily close below 1.3730 would weaken the bullish outlook and suggest deeper downside risk toward:
1.3716 – minor support
1.3690 – stronger support and potential demand zone
Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the WTI Crude holds above 1.3730. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.

USDCAD Rebound Steadies Ahead of BOC and FOMC MeetingsAligned with the DXY holding above the 96 support and approaching the 100-resistance, the USDCAD is maintaining a rebound above the 1.3540 level.
It has maintained a hold beyond the boundaries of a contracting downtrend across 2025 and is aiming for the 1.38 resistance to confirm a steeper bullish breakout.
A sustained move above 1.38, which connects lower highs from June and July, while the RSI holds below the 50 neutral line, could extend gains toward the 1.40 level.
From the downside, should the breakout above 1.38 fail, the pair may remain trapped within the consolidation range extending from June, with initial support seen at 1.3580.

USDCAD Bounce May Face Strong ResistanceUSDCAD is attempting to bounce back, supported by a stronger U.S. dollar index. The recent trade deals with Japan and the Eurozone have prompted traders to position more favorably toward the dollar. The sharp decline in EURUSD is also putting upward pressure on USDCAD.
This week will be crucial for both the U.S. and Canada, with a flood of economic data and major central bank events ahead. The Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada are both expected to hold rates at tomorrow’s meetings. Although pressure from Trump is unlikely to sway FOMC members into a rate cut, the new trade deals do reduce policy uncertainty, which could increase the likelihood of a rate cut in September. Any minor hint of this scenario will likely be interpreted as dovish by the markets.
The Bank of Canada, in contrast, is expected to remain firmly dovish as tariffs continue to weigh heavily on growth. Meanwhile, Trump’s recent comments regarding Canadian tariffs are unlikely to boost economic confidence in Canada, although Carney is actively pushing for an improved trade agreement.
Aside from central bank meetings, both countries will release GDP data this week. Canada’s economy is expected to contract by 0.1% in May, with GDP figures arriving alongside employment change and the U.S. PCE report. A strong surprise from Canada could help limit the effect of the rising dollar index on USDCAD.
In the U.S., GDP, PCE, and payrolls data will make this one of the most unpredictable weeks for markets in recent months.
USDCAD is currently testing its 100-week moving average. The immediate resistance levels are 1.3786 and 1.3850, both marked as “1” in the chart as the first resistance area. If dollar index strength continues after the initial shock, the second resistance zone defined by the May top and the 50-week moving average will become the next target.
If dollar dominance persists in the medium term, the ultimate target would be 1.4170. This area is likely to act as strong resistance, as it includes the midpoint of the March to July pullback, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the 2021 to 2025 uptrend, and the February dip.
As long as this resistance holds, any upward moves can be considered potential selling opportunities. However, it remains uncertain which of the resistance levels will mark the top.
USDCAD Analysis week 31🌐Fundamental Analysis
The Canadian dollar continued to decline against the US dollar on Friday. Trump returned to threatening tariffs on Canada as trade deals remain limited. The August 1 deadline for tariffs is approaching and Canada has not made much of a move so far.
🕯Technical Analysis
USDCAD continues to rally towards the 1.4000 resistance zone. A recovery of the pair to 1.365 is a good momentum for USDCAD to break the trendline and break 1.37700. The trading strategy for next week is mainly to look for BUY points when there is a recovery of the wave structure. If the important support of the week 1.357 is broken, the uptrend will reverse.
