USD/CAD technical analysis: 1.3425/30 guards the upside

• Recent lows/highs join 4H 200MA to highlight 1.3425/30 as important resistance.
• Immediate ascending trend-line limits the downside.

Even if an ascending trend-line since last-Wednesday portrays the USD/CAD pair’s strength, it is yet to clear the 1.3425/30 resistance confluence as it seesaws near 1.3410 during the early Asian session on Tuesday.

Not only late-May lows and early-June tops but 200-bar moving average (4H 200MA) also increases the importance of 1.3425/30 resistance, a break of which can trigger the pair’s rally towards May 30 low surrounding 1.3485 and then to 1.3500.

During the quote’s additional rise past-1.3500, 1.3530 and previous month tops near 1.3565 could become bulls’ favorites.

On the downside, 1.3400 and short-term upward sloping trend-line at 1.3375 can entertain sellers during the pair’s pullback.

It should, however, be noted that the pair’s decline below 1.3375 can shift market focus to 1.3345 and 1.3280 supports.
