Technical Analysis of USD/CAD
In relation to the Canadian Dollar, the US Dollar made a significant top close to the 1.3220 area. USD/CAD sharply dropped beneath 1.3120 and 1.3000.
The pair even consolidated below the 1.3000 level, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours), and the 200 simple moving average, as shown on the 4-hours chart (green, 4-hours). It further soared below 1.2900 and tried to hold above the 1.2820 support region.
Over the level of 1.2850, the pair is currently consolidating its losses. The pair is up against a significant resistance area in the 1.2960 region and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours).
A closing above the level of 1.2960 might pave the way for a continuous rise. The area around 1.3020 may serve as the next significant resistance. It is close to the pivotal slide from the 1.3225 swing high to 1.2816 low, which is represented by the 50% Fib retracement level.

The next significant support level is 1.2800, below which the pair may continue to decline toward 1.2750. Any more losses might push the pair toward the region of 1.2640.
Looking at EUR/USD, the pair is still having trouble staying below the 1.0280 resistance level and continues to be vulnerable to further short-term losses.
