On the downside, a support can be noted around 1.1318, the trend line support and 23.6% Fib level. Success in breaking this level will open the way to test the major support that lies around 1.1220, the psychological number and confluence of 50-day SMA, trend line and 38.2 Fib level, as demonstrated in the above chart.

The overall bias is bullish because of higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart.  The bias will remain bullish as far as the support area around 1.083 remains intact.

Housing Starts                  

The Canadian housing starts remained at 200.0K this November below than that of the 183.6K in the month before, says the median projection of different economists. Considered positive for the Canadian economy, a high reading is considered bearish for USDCAD and vice versa. Thus a better than expected figure may stall the price.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, selling the pair is preferred if the price leaves a bearish engulfing or bearish pin bar on the daily chart.
