USD/CAD consolidates within the ascending channel on the daily chart, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) positioned above 50, indicating a recovery of bullish sentiment. The pair edges higher to near 1.3700 during the European session on Tuesday.

Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is above the centerline, signaling bullish momentum, although it remains below the signal line. Traders may look for confirmation from the MACD, a lagging indicator, to ascertain the direction of the trend.

The USD/CAD pair may encounter resistance near the psychological level of 1.3800. A breakthrough above this level could pave the way for the pair to revisit its five-month high of 1.3846, followed by the upper boundary of the ascending channel and the psychological barrier of 1.3900.

On the downside, the USD/CAD pair might test the lower boundary of the channel around the 1.3630 level. A breach below this level could exert downward pressure on the pair, leading it toward the region around the psychological support at 1.3600 and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.3591, plotted between the levels of 1.3178 and 1.3846.

The next significant support level lies at 1.3478, should the USD/CAD pair experience further depreciation, followed by December’s low at 1.3178.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold retains positive bias amid sustained safe-haven demand, softer USD

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks underpin demand for safe-haven assets.

Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.

AUD/USD rises toward three-year highs on RBA rate hike bets

AUD/USD remains stronger for the third successive session, trading around 0.7120 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The pair advances toward its three-year high of 0.7147, last touched on February 12, as the Australian Dollar strengthens following hotter-than-expected inflation data from Australia, reinforcing expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia this year.
