  • USD/CAD main bull trend is on hold as the bears are driving the market towards 1.2900 figure. 
  • USD/CAD is trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average while the RSI, MACD and Stochastics are in negative territories.
  • However, bears will need a convincing breakout below 1.2882 (September 20 low) in order to shift the bias to strong bearish.
