FX.co ★ USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for April 18, 2014

On March 24, by breakdown of 1.5175, the Double Top pattern could not only achieve its projection target at 1.4820-1.4800, but confirm a bigger Head and Shoulders pattern as well.

The bears managed to break down 1.4950 corresponding to 50% Fibonacci level last week (the nearest Support level). This exposed the price level of 1.4750 (61.8% Fibonacci).

Trading above 1.4740 on a daily basis will probably hinders further bearish progression giving some time for sideway consolidation at least for retesting of 1.4945 (50% Fibonacci) which is a prominent resistance now.

On the other hand, daily closure below 1.4740 and a slide below 1.4675 will open the way towards 1.4350 as a projection target for the long-term bearish pattern.

There's a state of indecision around 61.8% Fibonacci level (1.4750). The bulls were offering support around 1.4725. This price level kept the pair consolidating above for a while. The state of indecision is still going on until today.

On the 4H chart, this indecisive state is manifested in the depicted consolidation zone on the 4H chart.

Breakthrough above its upper limit (1.4845) invalidates the bearish scenario for the short-term prospective. Projection target of the bullish breakout should be located near 1.4950 (50% Fibonacci level on the daily chart).
