USD/CAD Price Analysis: 50-day EMA restricts pullback from weekly low

USD/CAD bears catch a breath around 50% Fibonacci retracement level.
A confluence of 100-day EMA, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement offers strong downside support.
A seven-week-old falling trend line caps the pair’s near-term upside.

USD/CAD takes rounds to 1.3940/35 amid the early Tuesday’s trading session. The pair dropped to the lowest since May 11 the previous day but sees to extend the fall below 50-day EMA. It’s worth mentioning that 50% Fibonacci retracement of the quote’s late-February to March month upside seems to limit the pair’s further downside.

Considering the pair’s sustained trading below 50-day EMA, sellers will look for a sustained break below 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.3935 to extend the recent fall towards April 30 low of 1.3850.

Though, 100-day EMA and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement around 1.3765/60 will check the bears during further downside.

Alternatively, a clear break above the 50-day EMA level of 1.3952 will have to cross a falling trend line from March 31, currently near 1.4130, to recall the bulls.

EUR/USD holds firm above 1.1900 as US NFP looms

EUR/USD holds its upbeat momentum above 1.1900 in the European trading hours on Wednesday, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Markets could turn cautious later in the day as the delayed US employment report for January will takes center stage.

GBP/USD remains above nine-day EMA near 1.3650

GBP/USD recovers its recent losses from the previous session, trading around 1.3680 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a sustained bullish bias, as the pair trades within an ascending channel pattern.

Gold sticks to gains near $5,050 as focus shifts to US NFP

Gold holds moderate gains near the $5,050 level in the European session on Wednesday, reversing a part of the previous day's modest losses amid dovish US Federal Reserve-inspired US Dollar weakness. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the critical US NFP release.

US Nonfarm Payrolls expected to show modest job gains in January

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the delayed Nonfarm Payrolls data for January on Wednesday at 13:30 GMT. Investors expect NFP to rise by 70K following the 50K increase recorded in December.

S&P 500 at 7,000 is a valuation test, not a liquidity problem

The rebound from last week’s drawdown never quite shook the sense that it was being supported by borrowed conviction. The S&P 500 once again tested near the 7,000 level (6,986 as the high watermark) and failed, despite a macro backdrop that would normally be interpreted as supportive of risk.

BNB prolonged correction signals deeper bearish momentum

BNB (BNB), formerly known as Binance Coin, is trading below $618 on Wednesday, marking the sixth consecutive day of correction since the weekend. The bearish price action is further supported by rising short bets alongside negative funding rates in the derivatives market.
