The USDCAD is down near the 50% of the move down from March high comes in at 1.28256. The 200 bar MA on the 4-hour comes in at 1.28165. That area from 1.28165-256 is a key barometer for bulls and bears. Stay above is more bullish. Move below and stay below is more bearish.

There have been 2 looks below the area today (low reached 1.2811) but the momentum stalled quickly (below yellow area in the chart below). We currently trade at 1.2825. Key area.
