Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2424; (P) 1.2451; (R1) 1.2472; More...

USD/CAD dropped further to as low as 1.2371 so far today. The break of 1.2421 key structural support suggests that larger rise from 1.2005 has completed at 1.2947 already.

On the upside, above 1.2497 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations. But risk will now remain on the downside as long as 1.2592 support turned resistance holds.
