The USD/CAD pair is seen building on the previous day's breakout momentum through the 1.3810-1.3815 confluence hurdle and gaining positive traction for the third straight day on Thursday. Spot prices climb to the 1.3870 region, or a fresh high since April 13, during the Asian session and remain well supported by a broadly firmer US Dollar (USD).
The latest developments surrounding the Middle East crisis temper hopes for a diplomatic solution to end a three-month-old Iran war and benefit the USD's safe-haven status. Furthermore, bets that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will hike interest rates in 2026 turn out to be another factor supporting the Greenback and the USD/CAD pair. Meanwhile, the move higher seems unaffected by a goodish recovery in Crude Oil prices, which tends to underpin the commodity-linked Loonie, suggesting that the path of least resistance for spot prices is to the upside.
From a technical perspective, the USD/CAD pair keeps a constructive bullish bias following Wednesday's decisive close above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the April-May slide. The subsequent move up stalls near the 78.6% Fibo. level amid overbought conditions, with the Relative Strength Index hovering near 70. That said, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line above zero, with a positive histogram, suggests that upside pressure is still dominant even if the pair is stretched in the short term.
Hence, a move beyond the 78.6% Fibo. retracement around 1.3875, towards the recent swing high near 1.3963, looks like a distinct possibility. A break above the latter would open the way for a more pronounced extension of the uptrend. On the downside, initial support is seen at the 200-day SMA and 61.8% retracement cluster around 1.3810, followed by the 50% retracement at 1.3758 and the 38.2% level at 1.3709. Deeper retracements toward 1.3649 and 1.3552 could likely come into play only if the current bullish structure unwinds.
