Aggressive purchases were observed on USD CAD yesterday. The Canadian dollar weakened against USD by more than 150 points. The Bank of Canada left the key interest rate at the previous level of 1.00%. The regulator said that they won’t rush to raise the interest rates. I don’t exclude a technical correction in the nearest future. USD/CAD is consolidating in the 1.2780-1.2810 range now. I will open the positions from these marks.

I’ll buy the pair, if it fixes above 1.2810. It may move to 1.2850.

There may be a correction, if the price fixes below 1.2780. The target level is 1.2750-1.2715.

It may move to 1.3185-1.3160.
