USD/CAD In consolidation mode ahead of US tax reform vote

USD/CAD retreated from the upper levels that was seen during the last sessions, as better than expected Canadian data boosted the loonie. 
As the time of writing the current market price is 1.2735, posting 0.20% down for the day from the intarday high at 1.2786. As seen on the four hour time frame the pair met support at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of latest September to late October bullish run at 1.2715. On the same chart the price is developing below its flat 100-day and turned to bearish 20-day SMAs. Stochastic is nearing its mid-line and is displaying strong bearish momentum RSI is located around its mid-line, but has lost directional strength. 
The USD/CAD is consolidating around the 1.2700 handle, the lowest points ot October range. Technically we have mixed signals with prevailing neutral stance. Next on focus is the voting in the House over US tax reform, which will give more clear direction and trend strength.
