Swing area in 1.32533 to 1.32622

The fall has now moved below a swing area at 1.32533 -622. One more downside momentum, the pair will look toward a test of the broken 200 day moving average at 1.3225 and the rising 100 bar moving average on the 4 hour chart (blue line at 1.3218) and the 38.2% retracement 1.32164.

Helping to strengthen the Canadian dollar is the price of oil which is currently up $1.21 at $51.16. However the price has moved off the highs for the day at $51.73 after a strong crude oil build of 7.459M this week.
