USD/CAD Technical Analysis: Fades a knee-jerk bullish spike to 2-week tops

   •  The pair faded a knee-jerk spike to two-week tops and quickly retreated around 70-pips from levels beyond the 1.3100 handle touched during the early North-American session.

   •  Further downside, however, remained limited and the pair found decent support near Asian session lows, around the 1.3050 horizontal zone. 

   •  The fact that the pair has managed to hold above important moving averages (50, 100 & 200-period) points to a near-term bullish set-up on the 1-hourly chart. 

   •  However, a convincing break below mid-1.3000s might negate the positive outlook and turn the pair vulnerable to resume with its prior depreciating slide.
