Canadian Dollar Price Chart – USD/CAD 240min
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/CAD on TradingView
The focus into the start of the week is on a key support confluence here in USD/CAD at 1.3702/25- looking on possible price inflection off this mark. Rallies should be limited to 1.3791-1.3808 IF price is heading lower on this stretch with a close below 1.3665 ultimately needed to suggest a larger trend reversal is underway towards the 1.36-handle. Critical resistance unchanged at 1.3881/99. Review my latest Canadian Dollar Weekly Technical Forecast for a closer look at the longer-term USD/CAD trade levels.
Oil Price Chart – WTI Daily
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; WTI on TradingView
Oil rebounded off technical support last week at the trendline extending off the 2023 low (red) with price unable to mark a concerted close below the yearly low-day close (LDC) at 72.99. A V-shaped recovery is now attempting to mark a fourth consecutive daily advance with the rally approaching initial resistance objectives at the monthly open (78.61) and the 61.8% retracement of the July decline at 78.60- both areas of interest for possible near-term exhaustion / price inflection IF reached.
Initial daily support now rests with the July low at 74.58 and is backed again by 72.99 (bullish invalidation). Ultimately a close below the objective yearly open at 71.33 is needed to validate a larger breakout / mark downtrend resumption.
