USD/CAD Breakout of Upward Channel – Brace for Sell!

The USD/CAD failed to stop its previous meeting, losing streak and dropped to 1.3566 level. However, the declines in the currency pair were completely sponsored by the emergence of some U.S. dollar selling bias in the wake of modest risk-on market sentiment backed by the hopes of heavy stimulus from global policymakers. The weaker oil prices triggered by the continuous surge in COVID-19 cases undermined the commodity-linked currency, the loonie also kept a lid on any additional losses in the currency pair. At this particular time, the USD/CAD currency pair is currently trading at 1.3569 and consolidating in the range between 1.3561 – 1.3600.

Despite the heightened concerns of the increasing number of confirmed coronavirus cases across the world, the investors continued cheering the hopes about the coronavirus vaccine, which overshadowed the fears of the virus’s ever-increasing numbers. Moreover, the modest risk-on market sentiment was further bolstered by the fresh COVID-19 stimulus measures from the global policymakers, which are expected to deliver in the week.
