EURCAD Area of Interest (Jun 22, 2017)
EURCAD recently sold off but seems to be finding support at an area of interest visible on its daily time frame.
Applying the Fib tool on the latest swing high and low also shows that the 38.2% level lines up with support at the 1.4800 mark.
The 100 SMA crossed above the longer-term 200 SMA to indicate that the path of least resistance is to the upside. Stochastic is also turning up to indicate a return in bullish momentum, which might be strong enough to take the pair up to the swing high at 1.5300.
Crude oil prices have been on a decline lately and this seems to be taking its toll on the positively-correlated Canadian dollar, which has previously drawn support from hawkish BOC hints. US crude oil stockpiles posted a larger than expected draw of 2.5 million barrels but traders seemed more focused on rising output from Libya.
As for the euro, improved sentiment in the European region seems to be shoring up the shared currency for now. There were no major reports out of the euro zone and only the ECB Bulletin is lined up next. In Canada, the retail sales and CPI reports are lined up for Thursday and Friday, respectively.
