FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The USD/CAD has plunged off the 1.0231 handle earlier today as crude prices jumped on the Cyprus resolution. This plummet scaled nearly 40 pips, as the cross fell below the 1.0200 level to test support at 1.0195/96 in these moments, down -0.34% Monday.
“The USD/CAD is trading with a negative bias affected by the bearish harmonic Bat Pattern, which remains valid with stability below the 1.0355 level. As for today, trading below the 1.0295 region has to be viewed as negative.” warns the ICN.com analyst team.
