AUD/CAD slides toward 0.9750 support as 4H downtrend holds

AUD/CAD is pressing the lower end of its range with the 4H trend firmly pointed south and price trading well beneath a stacked EMA structure.

The pair is up just 0.12% on the session within a tight 0.97465 to 0.97716 intraday range. There are no major catalysts driving the move; this is pure positioning pressure, with the prior week's 1.49% decline establishing the dominant tone and several prior support levels now converted to overhead supply.

From a trend-following desk the read is clean. Price sits below EMA20 at 0.98026, EMA50 at 0.9841, and EMA200 at 0.9851, with the full EMA stack acting as resistance above. Trend alignment is mixed, with the 4H leading lower while the 1H and daily sit neutral — a configuration that typically resolves in the direction of the dominant timeframe. RSI is approaching oversold territory without yet triggering a reversal signal, and volatility is running at a normal clip, suggesting the move is orderly rather than exhausted. The prior bias was bearish, and the tape has done nothing to change that view; every level of note has been broken on the way down.

We sell rallies into the 0.98026 resistance zone, targeting 0.97498 and 0.97221 in sequence. A daily close above 0.98026 forces a stand-down.
