USD/CAD sees near one-month high ahead of key Bank of Canada (BOC) monetary policy meeting.

Clear break of previously important resistance line, 50-DMA join bullish MACD signals to favor buyers.

The 1.3300 threshold is the last defense of USD/CAD buyers.
USD/CAD struggles for clear directions as bulls take a breather after a three-day uptrend, making rounds to the monthly high near 1.3650 during early Wednesday. In doing so, the Loonie pair portrays the trader’s anxiety ahead of the BOC Interest Rate Decision.
Nevertheless, successful breaks of the 50-DMA and downsloping resistance lines from October 13, near 1.3570 and 1.3535 respectively, keep USD/CAD buyers optimistic.
Bullish MACD signals on the same line and recent failure to welcome bears despite a slow session.
That said, the November high near 1.3810 tempts short-term USD/CAD bulls before it faces multiple hurdles near 1.3850.
However, a sustained break of the 1.3850 mark could help the pair challenge the yearly top marked in October near 1.3980.
On the contrary, pullback moves may initially test the 50-DMA and the resistance-turned-support, close to 1.3570 and 1.3535 in that order.
Following that, a three-week-old ascending trend line near 1.3410 could challenge the USD/CAD bears.
It’s worth noting that a convergence of the 100-DMA and an ascending trend line from late August, around 1.3310-3300 could act as the final defense for the USD/CAD buyers, a break of which will give control to the bears.
