Canadian Dollar Technical Outlook: USD/CAD Multi-Timeframe Analysis
USD/CAD technical analysis shows the pair stalling at confluence support after a 2% pullback, just as Bank of Canada and Fed rate decisions land. Michael Boutros, StoneX Media Senior Market Analyst, walks through the monthly, daily and intraday USD/CAD charts.

Markets price a Fed hold and look ahead to December, with core PCE inflation and Q3 GDP close behind.
