The USD/CAD in consolidation mode

The USD/CAD gets tangled between the 21 day EMA and the 55 day EMA, also between the 1.2800 and the 1.3000. From this point the pair may go in any direction. The CAD may need another push from oil in order to continue its rally. For now the US Dollar is gaining ground versus the Canadian Dollar, hence the pullback that we are seeing on the daily chart to the upside. A breakout above the 1.3000 level may take the price to the 200 day EMA, blue line, around the 1.3200 level, which could act as resistance. To the downside, a breakdown below the 1.2800 level may indicate a possible return of the bearish trend, but the pair would have to make a lower low below the 1.2500 level in order for the trend to keep going.
