FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - After bottoming in the area of 1.0180, the cross is now picking up pace and regaining the 1.0200 resistance, after the industrial production in the US expanded 0.7% during February.

At the moment, USD/CAD is down 0.13% at 1.0210 and a dip below 1.0160 (low Feb.22) would open the door to 1.00998 (Lower Bollinger) and then 1.0055 (low Feb.18).
On the upside, resistance levels are located at 1.0231 (MA21d) followed by 1.0267 (MA10d) and finally 1.0315 (high Mar.8).
