The run higher is in contrast to what was a stronger NA opening for the loonie. However, prior to the report, the pair did find support buyers near the 1.3296 swing lows from April 1 and April 3. On Apirl 9th, the price dis extend below that area, only to fail and run back higher. Buyers against that level were lucky to get the benefit of the much weaker survey data.
Focus now, however, is on the 1.3368-73 area.
PS On the last runs higher, the pair formed pennant formations, only to break lower. Does it do the same thing after this run higher?
