The USDCAD trended higher over the past six trading days, reaching a high of 1.41398 yesterday after rising from a low of 1.3887 six days ago.

While some sellers from yesterday’s highs may still be holding modest gains, they have not yet established firm technical control, leaving them uneasy and buyers still in command.
