Daily Forex Analysis – May 21, 2013

USDCAD Analysis.
Being contained by 1.0341 resistance, USDCAD pulls back from 1.0312. However, the fall is likely consolidation of the uptrend from 1.0013, one more rise to re-test 1.0341 resistance is possible, a break above this level will signal resumption of the longer term uptrend from 0.9632 (Sep 14, 2012 low), then next target would be at 1.0500 area. On the downside, as long as 1.0341 resistance holds, the rise from 1.0013 would possibly be correction of the downtrend from 1.0341, another fall towards 0.9500 is still possible after correction.
