Today's Scenario: - The USD/CAD pair is currently approaching the key resistance level of 1.3630 during the Asian trading session. The Canadian dollar is gaining strength as the US Dollar Index (DXY) is ending its minor correction. The DXY declined slightly to around 101.40, following a V-shaped recovery driven by volatility in the S&P 500.

S&P 500 futures are showing moderate gains during the Asian session. While technology stocks were in demand, First Republic Bank experienced a sharp drop in stock value. This has caused some investors to lose confidence in the US administration, after First Republic Bank reported that the administration was hesitant to provide investment support during a period of declining customer deposits.

Buy Scenario: - In USD/CAD pair the immediate upside of the USD/CAD is restricted by a six-week-long descending resistance line close to 1.3675, followed by the short-term rising channel's top line near 1.3690. The late March high around 1.3800 could serve as a checkpoint for the Loonie pair buyers before directing them to the yearly top marked in the last month around 1.3860. Overall, the USD/CAD is likely to remain firm, but a short-term pullback cannot be ruled out. Till we do not advise to buy USD/CAD.

Sell Scenario: - However, if the USD/CAD pair is expected to experience a pullback towards the 1.3600 level, which could be followed by a challenge to the pair sellers by the channel's bottom line close to 1.3595. In the event of a downside break of the 1.3595 support, the 200-SMA level of 1.3560 is expected to provide support. Till we do not advise to sell USD/CAD.

Support and Resistance Level: -
