"USD/CAD
Strategy: Bullish Against 1.0200, Target TBD

Canadian dollar price action has remained choppy in recent weeks. Following a 6-week long attack against support at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 04/01-05/21 decline near 1.0010, Canadian dollar bulls pushed USDCAD below parity with the US dollar by the end of May. The move likely borrowed some momentum from the brief spike rally in crude oil as prices spiked to $135/barrel. Price action has since reversed sharply higher, rushing through multiple levels of Fib resistance to close above downward-sloping ***resistance line*** that had capped the upside since January. Interestingly enough, this has transpired all the while crude prices returned higher, reaching $138.54/barrel late last week. We now change our bias from neutral to bullish, looking to buy USDCAD above 1.02."

"The M40 for XGD is now 50.23, so the last rally could not overcome the ***technical resistance line***. I had been thinking XGD would take out the M40 in July, but the strong USD remains a deterrent, at least so far."

the level of 1.58 is technically offering resistance


Explanation:
In the finance world we talk about a market value that can go up or down as having resistance or support at particular (price) levels. That is, present market conditions prevent the (price) level from falling below the support (value) or rising above the resistance (value). We see this right now with the Euro: it just can't seem to break the resistance at 1.58, although it has flirted with this level again and again.
