FX.co ★ Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis of USD/CAD for May 17, 2018

The USD/CAD is in a bearish trend making lower lows and lower highs. Price is trading below the Ichimoku cloud and recently got rejected when it tried to bounce towards 1.2930. I'm bearish USD/CAD specially if we break below 1.2730.

Blue line - resistance trend line

Yellow rectangle - support area

The USD/CAD pair is trading below the 4-hour cloud. However we have critical short-term support at 1.2730-1.2750. A break below this area will open the way for a move lower towards 1.2650. Bulls need to see a bounce from this area and a break above the short-term resistance of 1.2830. Cloud resistance is at 1.2830 until 1.2870. Breaking above the blue trend line and above the cloud are the signs bulls want to see in order to control the trend. Until then bears are under control of the trend and I remain bearish.
