Breakout or Fakeout? Loonie at a Critical JuncturePEPPERSTONE:USDCAD is currently trading around 1.3836, after breaking above the key resistance level at 1.3825 earlier in the session. This breakout may have shifted momentum in favor of the bulls, but the pair now faces a new intraday fractal resistance at 1.3844 , which it is currently testing. A clean break above this barrier could open the door for further upside toward the weekly fractal resistance at 1.3891 .
The 1.3891 level remains pivotal, as it coincides with previous highs and represents a strong resistance zone. Should the market approach this area, price action will need to be monitored closely. A failure to break decisively higher could lead to the formation of a bearish Alt-Bat harmonic pattern, projected slightly above at 1.3912 .
In the near term, the battle between 1.3844 intraday resistance and 1.3811 intraday support will be crucial for short-term positioning. A sustained move above 1.3844 would strengthen the case for a test of 1.3891, while a failure to hold above 1.3811 could trigger another pullback toward the weekly fractal support.
Safe Trades,

BoC signals two-way USDCAD opportunities Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has commended US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's for managing of a difficult environment well, and pointed out that political attacks on the Fed from President Trump are a concern for the BoC too.
For USDCAD, this means traders might start viewing Canada’s central bank as acting more independently, instead of just following the Fed. This could create more two-way trading opportunities.
On the 4-hour chart, USDCAD has shown clear range dynamics: immediate resistance sits near 1.3845–1.3880, a zone repeatedly rejecting advances through September, while the 1.3720 area has acted as strong demand. The higher lows since mid-September could suggest buyers are building strength though.

USDCAD(20250923)Today's AnalysisMarket News:
Federal Reserve Chairman Bostic: There is currently little reason to cut interest rates further, and only one rate cut is expected this year. Musallem: There is limited room for further rate cuts. If inflation risks increase, further rate cuts will not be supported. Hammak: We should be very cautious when lifting policy restrictions. My estimate of the neutral interest rate is on the higher side. Milan: I believe the appropriate interest rate is in the mid-2% range. I do not support adjusting the 2% inflation target at this time.

USD/CAD Trade Idea: Short Setup at 1.3811 ExplainedUSD/CAD is forming a strong short setup at 1.3811. A heavy volume cluster + small FVG signal that sellers built shorts before driving price lower. This confluence makes the level strong, and we should wait for a pullback to short from it. There’s also a weak low below, which price often targets—ideal for partial trailing.
Bullish bounce off major support?The Loonie (USD/CAD) is reacting off the pivot, which acts as an overlap support and could bounce to the 1st resistance, which is an overlap resistance that is slightly below the 50% Fibonacci retracement.
Pivot: 1.3755
1st Support: 1.3568
1st Resistance: 1.4015
