Each day MACD is trending under its sign line (and gaining tempo), whereas Gradual Stochastics are holding firmly in oversold territory. The trail of least resistance is decrease for USD/CAD charges, at the least till the each day EMA envelope is damaged (USD/CAD charges shut above the each day 21-EMA). A near-term bounce increased gained’t negate the numerous technical injury executed in current weeks.
