USD/CAD Continues Sideways Trading

USD/CAD is yet again trading up and down day in and day out. The pair has been caught in range trading since it hit the bottom in early May after it made a history high in the end of January. January high of 1.4689 came as a surprise for most traders and investors as it was beyond any prior resistance and bull target. Since then, USD/CAD took a nosedive that lasted three months and cost the pair some 220 points going from 1.4689 to 1.2460.

Since May, USD/CAD has been very difficult to predict as the pair has not been going much but sway from 1.32 to 1.27. Lately, however, the pair has been playing with the 200SMA indicating that a time to move has come. 

Current price is 1.3245 with a high of the day of 1.3250. Market participants are anticipating today's CAD CPI and Retail Sales.
