USD/CAD has traded in a relatively narrow range between 1.2351 and 1.2252 since Thursday last week but now looks well placed to resume its previous decline that took it from almost 1.34 in late October last year down to current levels.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.
Looking at the chart below, the recent stability looks like a
period of consolidation that could well be followed by falls that could
reach as far as the 1.2062 low recorded in September 2017 that looks now

Behind the strength of the Canadian Dollar lies the advance in crude oil
prices, which have benefited from higher demand – along with
commodities such copper, iron ore and aluminum – as the global economy
recovers after the downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Oil is
Canadas largest export by some distance.
As the next chart shows, the price of US crude has popped higher from a symmetrical triangle continuation pattern that can be thought of as signaling a resumption of the prior trend higher.
