On November 11, USD/CAD climbed to the current 1.3047 – 1.3152 trading zone. Two days later, the price created a lower high at 1.3171 indicating that bearish momentum was still intact. Nonetheless, the downward trend may reverse due to a bullish price/RSI divergence as the former created a lower low while the latter created a higher low.
