USD/CAD Price Analysis: Depressed inside short-term trading range below 1.3100

USD/CAD sellers eye lower end of the one-week-old trading range.
Normal RSI, sustained trading below 200-bar SMA keep sellers hopeful.
November 13 top adds to the upside filters.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CAD drops to 1.3062, down 0.14% intraday, during Tuesday’s Asian session. Even so, the pair maintains the sideways momentum established since November 16.

Considering the normal RSI conditions, coupled with weakness below 200-bar SMA, the quote is likely declining towards the range support near 1.3045 ahead of looking at the 1.3030 rest-point.

During the USD/CAD sellers’ reign past-1.3030, the 1.3000 psychological magnet holds the key to further downside targeting the monthly bottom surrounding 1.2930.

Alternatively, an upside clearance of the range’s resistance, at 1.3123, will have to cross a 200-bar SMA level of 1.3141 as well as the November 13 high near 1.3172 to convince the USD/CAD buyers.

Following that, the 1.3300 round-figure and the monthly top close to 1.3370 will lure the bulls.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
