Blather (from http://quotes.ino.com/exchanges/?r=CME_CD ) The March Canadian Dollar was slightly lower overnight as it consolidates some of Thursday's rally. Stochastics and the RSI have turned bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 99.17 would confirm that a short-term low has been posted. If March renews this month's decline, the 62% retracement level of the 2007 rally crossing at 94.88 is the next downside target. First resistance is Thursday's high crossing at 99.75. Second resistance is December's high crossing at 102.59. First support is the 50% retracement level of the 2007 rally crossing at 97.84. Second support is Tuesday's low crossing at 96.31.
AnalysisThings have settled down a bit after yesterday's excitement. I still haven't got firm numbers on what that was all about. The loonie is still showing good gains on the majors. Looks like long-term money's back thinking about the loonie. They've driven June2009 almost to par. No concern on the drive-in show except on housing prices starting to fall back to pre-bubble levels and what might happen to those people (like a good friend of mine) who bought at the peak (I've offered to rent him my spare room), and a bit of giggling about the possibility of negative interest rates.
