USD/CAD Price Forecast: Tests 50-day EMA barrier amid potential bullish breakout

Source Fxstreet
  • USD/CAD tests the immediate barrier at the 50-day EMA of 1.3914.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is near 54, supporting a bullish breakout.
  • The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3861.

USD/CAD continues its winning streak for the fifth consecutive day, trading around 1.3910 during Asian hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates that the price is positioned slightly above the top trendline of a descending channel; it primarily signals a potential bullish breakout. However, until a decisive confirmation occurs, a small move above the top boundary carries the risk of a false breakout, where sellers push the price back down into the channel.

The USD/CAD pair is holding above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) but remains capped by the 50-day EMA, leaving the near-term tone broadly neutral with a mild topside bias. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 54 hints at recovering bullish momentum, yet the proximity of the 50-day EMA overhead suggests that bulls still need a clear daily close above this barrier to unlock further gains.

The USD/CAD pair is testing the immediate barrier at the 50-day EMA of 1.3914. A sustained break above the short-term price average would strengthen the bullish bias and support the pair in exploring the region around the nearly 17-month high of 1.4248, which was recorded on June 24, 2026.

On the downside, the initial support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3861. A pullback toward the descending channel would revive the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the USD/CAD pair to test the descending channel bottom at 1.3560, followed by 1.3481, the lowest level since October 2024.
