Key Quotes

"EURCAD’s weak technical backdrop is delivering a little more obvious downside progress, with new cycle lows below 1.46. We have been bearish on the outlook for the cross since the May break below H&S neckline support around 1.51 (which targets a drop to the mid 1.44 area as the measured move objective)."

"The EUR looks somewhat oversold here but trend momentum here is bearishly aligned across all short, medium and longer-term studies, suggesting little or no scope for a meaningful rebound at this point. We look for resistance in the low/mid 1.46 area from here."
