This occurs after price broke down below an uptrend support line extending from the late-April long-term low below parity (1.0000). The past week and the beginning of the current trading week have seen substantial bearishness in this currency pair.
A breakdown below the key 1.0200 support level could signal further bearishness for USD/CAD, potentially targeting parity once again. Key upside resistance within the context of the current bearishness currently resides in the 1.0400 price region.
