The Prospects of USD/CAD Rebound Continuation

Nadia Simmons Sunshine Profits

The technicals indicated high likelihood of an upswing, and the pair obliged by moving higher recently. Great, but with quite a move behind us already, let's assess further appreciation potential as it stands right now.

Quoting our last commentary on this currency pair:

(...) we noticed another move to the upside, which not only invalidated yesterday's drop below the green line, but also the earlier breakdown below the lower border of the declining red trend channel. Both of these invalidations are bullish signs.

Additionally, the current position of the daily indicators suggests that further improvement is just around the corner.

The situation developed in line with the above scenario and USD/CAD managed to break above the upper border of the blue consolidation during yesterday's session. Earlier today, the pair extended gains, making our long positions even more profitable.

As the buy signals continue to support the buyers, this observation of yesterday keeps being still valid:

(...) Should this be the case and USD/CAD extends gains from here, the initial upside target will be the previously broken black line – that is the neck line of the head and shoulders formation.

EUR/USD faces next resistance near 1.1930

EUR/USD continues to build on its recovery in the latter part of Wednesday’s session, with upside momentum accelerating as the pair retargets the key 1.1900 barrier amid a further loss of traction in the US Dollar. Attention now shifts squarely to the US data docket, with labour market figures and the always influential CPI releases due on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

GBP/USD sticks to the bullish tone near 1.3660

GBP/USD maintains its solid performance on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.3660 zone as the Greenback surrenders its post-NFP bounce. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold holds on to higher ground ahead of the next catalyst

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of modest losses in the US Dollar and despite firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
