Report Summary

At the time of writing this post, the USD/CAD Forex pair has spiked +.0073. As shown on the Weekly chart below, price is being drawn back to parity (which it just reached), or higher, and is still contained within a tightening large triangle.

With both Canada and the U.S. vying for dollar devaluation, it will be interesting to see which way this pair ultimately moves...if it does move very far away from parity during 2013 and beyond. Currencies seem to be the "play du jour" lately -- we'll see for how long currency traders maintain an interest in this pair.
