USD/CAD Price Analysis: Holds position above 1.3750 amid resurging bullish sentiment

  • USD/CAD may continue to advance as technical analysis suggests a resurgence of bullish sentiment.
  • A break above the 1.3800 level might propel the pair to revisit its five-month high of 1.3846.
  • The pair could find support around the psychological level of 1.3700 and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.3688.

USD/CAD trades around 1.3780 during the early European hours on Wednesday, hovering within an ascending channel on the daily chart. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) also positioned above 50, indicating a resurgence of bullish sentiment.

Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is above the centerline, suggesting bullish momentum, although it remains below the signal line. Traders might seek confirmation from the MACD, a lagging indicator, to validate the trend direction.

The USD/CAD pair could encounter resistance around the psychological level of 1.3800. If it surpasses this level, it may revisit its five-month high of 1.3846, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel near 1.3899, the highest level not seen since November.

Conversely, on the downside, the USD/CAD pair could navigate the region around the psychological level of 1.3700, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.3688, which is drawn between the levels of 1.3178 and 1.3846. A break below this level could lead the pair to test the lower boundary of the channel around the 1.3640 level.

AUD/USD remains confined in a range above 0.7100

AUD/USD extends its consolidative price move above 0.7100 through the Asian session on Tuesday, shrugging off hawkish comments from RBA Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter as traders keenly await the crucial Trump-Xi summit later this week. Meanwhile, escalating tensions in the Middle East and the Fed's hawkish outlook remain supportive of the bullish US Dollar undertone, capping spot prices.

USD/JPY bulls seem cautious below 157.50 as JPY intervention risks loom

USD/JPY consolidates below mid-157.00s during the Asian session on Tuesday as intervention fears help limit losses for the Japanese Yen. However, the BoJ's dovish rate hike to a 31-year high keeps JPY bulls on the back foot. At the same time, the US Dollar retains its bullish undertone amid the Fed's hawkish outlook and escalating Middle East tensions, acting as a tailwind for the pair.

Gold benefits from falling US bond yields; remains below $4,400 amid bullish USD

Gold regains positive traction during the Asian session on Tuesday, though it lacks bullish conviction and remains below $4,400. Falling oil prices ease inflation fears, dragging US bond yields lower and supporting the non-yielding yellow metal. Meanwhile, the Fed's hawkish stance, along with escalating Middle East tensions, keeps the US Dollar near its highest level since late July and acts as a headwind for the bullion.

Ethereum rallies above $2,700 as investors shrug off bearish sentiment
Ethereum (ETH) climbed above $2,700 on Monday after investors defended the realized price level despite negative sentiment over the Clarity Act's failure and the Federal Reserve rate hike. After the Clarity Act failed to advance in the Senate, ETH dipped below $2,400 last week. But right below that price is the top altcoin's realized price, or average on-chain cost basis, at $2,310.
The week ahead: Fuel prices in focus as we lead up to key eco releases

Financial markets are in a strange position as we move to the final weeks of Q3, uncertainty and volatility continue to grip markets, but the oil price is falling; and European and US stocks are poised to open higher later on Monday. Market stresses are concentrated in sovereign bonds, and European and US yields had another scare late on Friday, and moved higher.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
