USD/CAD firmer on stronger USD

The pair is advancing for the second consecutive session so far, extending the rebound from the recent drop to the 1.3270 area backed by a solid bid tone around the greenback despite the reduced activity in the US markets, the scarce volatility and empty docket.

USD/CAD levels to consider

As of writing, the pair is up 0.41% at 1.3345 facing the next resistance at 1.3437 (high Nov.23) ahead of 1.3458 (2015 high Sep.29) and then 1.3500 (psychological level). On the slip side, a break below 1.3217 (38.2% Fibo of 1.3459-1.2827) would aim for 1.3194 (55-day sma) and then 1.3153 (100-day sma).
