USD/CAD’s rise from 1.1464 extends further to as high as 1.2418 before turning sideway. At this point, intraday bias remains on the upside as long as 1.2150 minor support holds. As discussed before, correction from 1.3015 has completed at 1.3015 has completed, ahead of 50% retracement of 0.9823 to 1.3015 at 1.1419. Further rise is expected to retest this 1.3015 high. On the downside, below 1.2150 will turn intraday outlook neutral first. Though, another rally is still in favor as long as pull back is contained above 1.1658 support.

In the bigger picture, preferred interpretation of the up trend from 0.9056 is that first wave rally is completed at 1.0248. Subsequent second wave consolidation was in form of triangle and finished at 0.9823. Rise from 0.9823 is treated as third wave rally and should have completed at 1.3015 already. Hence, some medium scale consolidation might be seen now. However, note that firstly, downside of such consolidation should be contained by bottom of the fourth wave in a lower degree at 1.1304. Secondly, sustained break of 1.3015 will confirm that the medium term up trend has resumed, with the fifth wave started and should then target 61.8% retracement of 1.6196 to 0.9056 at 1.1783 at 1.3469.
