GBP/CAD levels to watch

“The short term outlook is still bullish, despite in the 1 hour chart, the technical indicators are beginning to look exhausted towards the upside in extreme overbought levels”, said Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet. “In the 4 hours chart, the technical indicators are barely easing their upward strength, also standing in extreme overbought territory, whilst the 20 SMA heads strongly higher well below the current level, all of which supports further advances, and suggests buyers will be ready to add on dips”.

Support levels: 2.0585 2.0530 2.0480. Resistance levels: 2.0650 2.0710 2.0755.
