USD/CAD Price Analysis: Bulls remain unconvinced below 1.2865

USD/CAD struggles to defend the bounce from weekly low around 10-DMA.
Steady Momentum line, clear break of two-week-old rising trend line favor sellers.
Bulls may aim for monthly resistance line beyond 1.2865.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CAD snaps a two-day pullback from the yearly top, up 0.09% intraday despite recently easing to 1.2840 ahead of Thursday’s European session.

Although 10-DMA challenges the Loonie pair’s immediate downside, a sustained break of the ascending trend line from December 08 keeps the USD/CAD sellers hopeful amid a steady Momentum line.

Even if the quote rises past the nearby support-turned-resistance line close to 1.2865, the 1.2900 threshold and the latest peak of 1.2965 may lure the bulls ahead of an ascending resistance line from November 30, near the 1.3000 psychological magnet.

Alternatively, the quote’s fresh weakness will aim for November 23 swing high near 1.2745 before targeting the six-week-old support line near 1.2730.

In a case where USD/CAD bears keep reins past 1.2730, a two-month-long support line, close to 1.2600 will be crucial to watch.

EUR/USD stays well offered below 1.1800

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The move lower comes as the US Dollar finds renewed strength after the latest round of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Next of note on the docket will be the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims.

GBP/USD reaches multi-day lows near 1.3500

GBP/USD reverses its initial upside momentum and is now adding to previous declines, approaching the 1.3500 region on Wednesday. Cable’s downtick comes on the back of decent gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold battle to regain $5,000 continues

Gold is back on the front foot on Wednesday, shaking off part of the early week softness and challenging two-day highs near the $5,000 mark per troy ounce. The move comes ahead of the FOMC Minutes and is unfolding despite an intense rebound in the US Dollar.

Bitcoin has found or is near a bottom, extended consolidation to follow: K33

Bitcoin (BTC) is nearing or has already established a bottom, which could be followed by a sustained period of slow price movement, according to K33.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Sui extends sideways action ahead of Grayscale’s GSUI ETF launch
