USD/CAD Price Analysis: Ignores oversold RSI, Tuesday’s Doji near 1.2100

USD/CAD refreshes intraday low, stays mildly bid after the previous day’s bullish candlestick formation.
Oversold RSI backs trend reversal but previous support line from late January defends bears.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CAD takes offers around 1.2090, down 0.08% intraday, amid Wednesday’s Asian session. The pair marked a Doji candlestick, suggesting corrective pullback of the currently bearish trend, amid oversold RSI.

Although the USD/CAD bears seem tiring of late, a bounce needs to cross a downward sloping trend line from January 21, around 1.2150, to convince short-term buyers.

Also acting as an immediate upside hurdle is the 10-day SMA level of 1.2200.

However, a clear break above 1.2200 on a daily closing will help the USD/CAD bulls to aim for the monthly top surrounding 1.2350.

On the flip side, the recent low around 1.2080 and the year 2017 bottom close to 1.2060 could entertain USD/CAD sellers ahead of directing them to the 1.2000 psychological magnet.

It’s worth mentioning that any further weakness below 1.2000 will not hesitate to attack May 2015 low surrounding 1.1920.

AUD/USD meets support near 0.7150

AUD/USD comes under renewed and quite strong selling pressure ahead of the Asia opening bell on Friday, drifting back toward multi-day troughs near 0.7150, where it seems to have met some decent contention for now. The Aussie’s decline follows the inflation-reignited uptick in the Greenback in response to robust US factory-gate prices in August.

USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold remains weak, retargets $4,350

Gold keeps the choppy price action on Thursday, now slipping back toward the $4,350 region per troy ounce amid the robust bounce in the US Dollar as well as rising US Treasury yields across the curve, particularly following US Producer Prices and ahead of Friday’s more relevant US CPI data.

Bitcoin and Gold Outlook: BTC and XAU drop as US PPI broadens rate-hike bets

Cryptocurrency prices are broadly correcting, led by Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading around $77,000 on Thursday, marking four consecutive days of declines. Meanwhile, Gold (XAU) remains sideways, hovering around $4,365, with upside capped below $4,400.

ECB recap: A hawkish hike despite downside growth risks

The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the Deposit Facility Rate to 2.50%, the Refinancing Rate to 2.65% and the Marginal Lending Facility to 2.90%, effective from September 16. The decision was accompanied by a clear warning that the outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks tilted to the upside for inflation and to the downside for growth.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
