The USD/CAD pair initially rose during the Tuesday session, but then fell to form a shooting star of sorts just above the 0.98 level. This crucial support level needs to give way for this candle to be a confirmed sell signal, but the trend is in that direction so one has to like the odds. However, we are waiting to see if the pair can close below that level on the 4 hour chart before committing to new shorts. Buying isn’t an option until we break well above parity at this point. Watching oil markets will be crucial as it will more than likely be the catalyst to push this pair. If oil rises, the CAD will strengthen, driving this pair lower.
