USDCAD bounced from Support and can continue higherLooking at the chart and the overall structure, I think we can favor the continuation setup with a emphasis on price action at key zones, particularly when price breaks out then can revisit this structure for a retest.
This bounce off support has been accomplished in my previous analysis:
Here, if price breaks with strength and dips back into the area and holds with bullish confirmation (likely a wick rejection or bullish engulfing on lower timeframes), that would be the cue to get in.
I am projecting the next target to 1.38600 that makes sense as a logical level for trend continuation and that I find achievable.

USD/CAD Rises to 2-Month HighUSD/CAD Rises to 2-Month High
Today, the USD/CAD exchange rate briefly exceeded the 1.3870 mark – the highest level seen this summer. In less than ten days, the US dollar has strengthened by over 2% against the Canadian dollar.
Why Is USD/CAD Rising?
Given that both the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada left interest rates unchanged on Wednesday (as expected), the primary driver behind the pair’s recent rally appears to be US President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on several countries – including Canada:
→ Despite efforts by Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney to reach an agreement with Trump, no deal was achieved;
→ Canadian goods exported to the US will now be subject to a 35% tariff;
→ The tariffs take effect from 1 August;
→ Goods compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) are exempt.
Media analysts note that the tariffs are likely to increase pressure on the Canadian economy, as approximately 75% of the country's exports are destined for the United States.
USD/CAD Technical Analysis
At the end of July, the price formed a steep ascending channel (A-B), with bullish momentum confirmed by a decisive breakout above the 1.3790 resistance level, as illustrated by the arrow:
→ the pullback before the breakout was relatively shallow;
→ the bullish breakout was marked by a long bullish candlestick with a close near the session high;
→ following the breakout, the price confidently consolidated above 1.3790.
Provided that the fundamental backdrop does not undergo a major shift, bulls might attempt to maintain control in the market. However, the likelihood of a correction is also increasing, as the RSI indicator has entered extreme overbought territory.
Should USD/CAD show signs of a correction after its steep ascent, support might be found at:
→ line C, drawn parallel to the A-B channel at a distance of its width;
→ the previously mentioned 1.3790 level, which now acts as a support following the breakout.

Will the Canada-US Trade Tension Continue to Impair CAD?Fundamental approach:
- USDCAD advanced this week, supported by broad US dollar strength and renewed trade tensions as the US announced higher tariffs on Canadian imports.
- The pair was further buoyed after the BoC left rates unchanged and signaled caution amid persistent core inflation and ongoing trade negotiations.
- Meanwhile, US labor data indicated that job openings were moderating growth while tariff-related uncertainty weighed on risk sentiment.
- The BoC’s decision to keep its policy rate at 2.75% cited domestic economic resilience and the unpredictable US trade policy outlook.
- At the same time, negotiations between Canada and the US over trade terms remained in an “intense” phase, with additional tariffs entering effect 1 Aug, adding to downside risks for the Canadian economy.
- USDCAD may remain elevated next week as markets monitor follow-through from new tariffs and assess further data on US jobs and Canadian trade. Potential progress or setbacks in Canada-US trade talks and upcoming economic releases could influence direction, while central bank policy signals and risk appetite will remain key catalysts.
Technical approach:
- USDCAD formed a Triple-bottom pattern at around 1.3567 and bounced up to break the neckline at 1.3755. The price also broke the descending trendline and closed higher than both EMAs, indicating a potential trend reversal.
- If USDCAD remains above the support at 1.3755 and both EMAs, the price may retest the resistance at 1.3980.
- On the contrary, closing below the support at 1.3755 and both EMAs may lead USDCAD to retest the key support at 1.3567.
Analysis by: Dat Tong, Senior Financial Markets Strategist at Exness
USD/CAD – Possible Pullback on the RadarThis pair is forming a potential pullback setup that we’re keeping a close eye on.
The support zone is decent, but not ideal — which means we’ll need to see extra confirmation from both volume and momentum before considering a trade.
As always, every part of the VMS strategy must align before we take action. Until then, it stays on the watchlist.
Discipline over impulse. Patience over prediction.
USDCAD Will Go Down! Short!

USDCADSupport Zone: Price has retested a strong support area
Price Action: The retest held — buyers defended it, showing rejection wicks / bullish candles.
Bias: Bullish while support holds → look for continuation to next resistance.
Invalidation: Bias weakens if support breaks and closes below the zone.
So as long as price stays above the retested support, USD/CAD remains bullish.
USD/CAD Daily - Triple Bottom Breakout PatternUSD/CAD Daily – Triple Bottom Breakout
The USD/CAD pair on the 1D chart has formed a Triple Bottom pattern, a classic bullish reversal setup after a downtrend. This pattern suggests that sellers were unable to push the price below the established support zone on three separate occasions, signaling strong buying interest.
🔍 Chart Highlights:
Three distinct lows at a consistent support level
Strong bounce after each test of support, confirming bullish defense
Neckline (resistance line) successfully broken, indicating a breakout
Price target projected from the height of the pattern added to the breakout level
📈 Pattern: Triple Bottom
📍 Breakout Level (Neckline): Around 1.37800
🎯 Target: Approx. 1.42000
🛑 Invalidation: A daily close back below the neckline
This breakout may indicate the beginning of a bullish trend continuation, with momentum favoring the bulls as long as price holds above the neckline.
Potential BEARSAfter a prolonged and a complex correction, it looks out to be a FLAT CORRECTION with wave B producing a flat correction as well in a lower degree hence making it all complex. But at the moment we have a perfect channel AB=CD correction which prompts a continuation to the south. Fingers crossed 🤞 as the market rejects a resistance of the channel.
Canada's GDP contracts, US nonfarm payrolls misses forecastThe Canadian dollar continues to lose ground against its US counterpart and is trading at two-month lows. In the European session, the Canadian dollar is trading at 1.3875, down 0.13% on the day. USD/CAD has risen for six straight days, climbing 1.9% during that time.
US nonfarm payrolls for July were softer than expected at 73 thousand, compared to the forecast of 110 thousand. The June report was revised sharply downwards to 14 thousand from an initial 147 thousand.
Canada's GDP posted a small decline of 0.1% m/m in May, matching the market estimate. This followed an identical reading in April, as the economy is essentially treading water. A drop in retail trade was a significant factor in the weak GDP reading, particularly in motor vehicles and parts.
The decline in GDP in April and May can be squarely blamed on the trade war with the US, which has put a chill in economic activity. The markets are expecting a slight improvement in June, with an estimate of a 0.1% gain.
The Bank of Canada held the benchmark rate at 2.75% on Thursday for a third consecutive meeting. The rate statement noted that US trade policy remains "unpredictable" and Governor Macklem reiterated this at his press conference, saying that "some level of uncertainty will continue" until the US and Canada reach a trade agreement.
Meanwhile, the trade war between the two sides is heating up. President Trump announced on Thursday that the US was slapping 35% tariffs on Canadian products, effective Aug. 1. The new tariff will not apply to goods covered under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was "disappointed" with the US decision and vowed that "Canadians will be our own best customer". These are brave words, but Carney will be under pressure to reach a deal with the US, as 75% of Canadian exports are shipped to the US and Canada can ill-afford a protracted trade war with its giant southern neighbor.
USD/CAD Ascending Triangle Breakout, Support at Prior ResistanceWhile USD/CAD was one of the cleaner pairs for USD-weakness in Q2, the past month and change has seen a shifting backdrop in the pair.
The 1.3750 level remains key and this was the price that set the low in early-May, leading to a rally up to 1.4000, which sellers defended well. That drove another fresh low but bears suddenly got shy above the 1.3500 level, leading to a pullback in June.
Since then - there's been a build of higher-lows with the trendline produced by the June and early-July swing low bringing another support inflection two weeks ago. And then the rally from that finally led to a break of the ascending triangle formation which had built with resistance at 1.3750.
Now that the USD is pulling back, so too is USD/CAD, and interestingly, this could be one of the more attractive venues for looking at USD-strength continuation scenarios given that recent bullish structure. - js
USD/CAD Poised for a Bullish Breakout: All Eyes on 1.41

🚀 **
The BAT formation is checking every box—whether you’re analyzing the correction of point **C from AB** or a deeper retracement of **B from XA**, the technical structure is screaming potential.
📊 **Fibonacci Magic**
We’ve got confluence across key Fib levels, with the final projection targeting **1.41**, a crucial resistance that aligns with multiple technical cues.
📉 **Bearish Trendline AC? Consider It Challenged.**
A decisive breach above the descending **AC trendline** would be a powerful confirmation of bullish momentum—and the market’s intent to rally.
⚠️ **Risk Strategy**
The setup remains valid as long as price holds **above point X**. A protective stop-loss below X keeps the trade clean and controlled.
🎯 **Trade Outlook**
With a solid harmonic base, technical alignment across retracement zones, and trendline pressure building, USD/CAD could be gearing up for an aggressive move north. It’s not just a chart—it’s a story, and right now, the plot points to 1.41.
