The narrowly range-bound USD/CAD looks to be getting a modest pre-weekend boost, raising through offers which have capped the buck in the 81.35/40 area and reaching 81.48 so far.
What can’t go down must eventually go up, so maybe we get some short-covering from bored USD/JPY shorts looking for better opportunities elsewhere. 81.90/82.00 is solid resistance but stop-loss buy orders lie just above that level.
