02.03.201112:32 Forex Analysis & Reviews: USD/CAD technical analysis for March 2, 2011

Support levels: 0.9650, 0.9600, 0.9550
Resistance levels: 0.9820, 1.0000, 1.0057

The USD/CAD currency pair is refreshing more than 3-year’s lows. At the moment on a 4-hour graph the USD/CAD is rolling back of the 0.9680 level. Nevertheless, the viewpoint at the pair is still bearish as the downtrend remains. As mentioned before, break of 0.9711 targeted the pair to 0.9650 with 0.9600 as further target.
However, if a reversal takes place and the USD/CAD breaks the 1.0000 resistance level, further advance to 1.0212 should be expected. Further break of the 1.0380 level will denote that the rollback from 1.0680 is completed and further growth should be expected.
In the midterm the breakout of the support level at 0.9930 indicated continuing midterm downtrend from 1.3063 (2009 high) with 0.9700 as a target. However, this downside movement is probably a correction, and a strong support level is located near 0.9056-0.9700.
Thus, if a reversal takes place, the breakout of 1.0851 will prove the downtrend broken through from 1.3063. In this case the USD/CAD is expected to go up to the resistance level 1.1126 with 1.1866 as the next target.
