$USDCAD

$USDCAD  closed lower due to profit taking on Friday as it consolidated some of the rally off June's low. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Monday's night session begins trading. 

Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that additional short-term gains are possible. If September extends the rally off June's low, April's high crossing at 101.68 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 99.88 are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted. 

First resistance is Thursday's high crossing at 101.35. 
Second resistance is April's high crossing at 101.68. 

First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 100.71. 
Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 99.88.
