The USD/CAD pair is going through a correction phase after displaying a perpendicular upside move from Tuesday’s low at 1.2844. The asset extended its recovery on Tuesday after overstepping the critical hurdle of 1.2965.

On an hourly scale, the asset has faced barricades while surpassing its three-week high at 1.3080. A violation of an old resistance fetches a reversal in the counter. However, the upside remains favored as the upside move towards 1.3080 was extremely firmer. Going forward, the corrective move may turn into a bullish impulsive wave.

The 20- and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 1.2990 and 1.2938 respectively are scaling higher, which adds to the upside filters.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in a bullish range of 60.00-80.00, which indicates more upside ahead. A minor correction has been witnessed in the greenback bulls after the momentum oscillator turned overbought. The overall trend is still bulls and the RSI (14) may find support around 60.00.

Should the asset surpass the three-week high at 1.3080 decisively, the greenback bulls will drive the asset towards the round-level resistance and 4 November 2020 at 1.3200 and 1.3300 respectively.

Alternatively, the loonie bulls could regain control if the asset drops below the critical support of the June 28 low at 1.2819. This will drag the asset towards June 9 high at 1.2705, followed by June 6 high at 1.2619.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar. In the meantime, US inflation figures showed the headline CPI rose less than expected in January, removing some tailwinds from the Greenback’s momentum.

GBP/USD clings to gains above 1.3600

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January. Earlier in the day, the BoE’s Pill suggested that UK inflation could settle around 2.5%, above the bank’s goal.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked retracement, as bargain-hunters seem to have stepped in. The precious metal’s upside, however, appears limited amid the slightly better tone in the US Dollar after US inflation data saw the CPI rise less than estimated at the beginning of the year.
