Just been watching the USD/CAD action lately and Scotiabank's take on this makes sense - that 1.3645 level is holding as a real ceiling right now. Every time it tries to push higher, it gets rejected pretty hard. As long as we stay below that mark, the bearish pressure on the USD side seems to be the dominant CAD news story.



What's interesting is how much the loonie is getting support from oil prices and the rate differential between the Fed and Bank of Canada. The BoC has already started cutting, while the Fed is being more cautious, which creates this interesting dynamic. Without a real catalyst, it's tough to see the USD breaking out higher - the burden is on the greenback to prove itself.

From a trading perspective, this CAD news situation gives us clear levels to work with. If we see a sustained break below 1.3645, targets around 1.3500 are in play. But if it suddenly breaks above? That invalidates the whole bearish setup and opens up toward 1.3750. The tricky part is the volatility around economic data - GDP numbers from Canada or employment reports from the US could easily shake things up.

Keeping an eye on upcoming data releases for any confirmation of this trend. The CAD news flow has been pretty choppy, but the technical picture still looks bearish as long as we hold below that key resistance.
