USD/CAD prints mild gains around 1.3600 as bears take a breather after a three-day losing streak during early Monday morning in Asia.

In doing so, the Loonie pair justifies the previous day’s bullish Doji candlestick, as well as upbeat MACD signals, to back the pair’s rebound from the 10-DMA support. The Loonie pair’s further recovery, however, needs validation from the previous monthly high surrounding 1.3665 to convince USD/CAD buyers.

Even if the Loonie pair manages to stay beyond the 1.3665 hurdle, the late 2022 peak of 1.3705 appears the key as it holds the gate for the quote’s run-up towards the last November’s high surrounding 1.3810.

Should the USD/CAD pair remains firmer past 1.3810, the odds of its run-up to challenge the previous yearly high of 1.3977 can’t be ruled out.

On the flip side, the 10-DMA and previous resistance line from November 2022, respectively around 1.3590 and 1.3525 challenge the USD/CAD bears.

Following that, multiple support levels around 1.3480-70 and 1.3330 could restrict the pair’s further downside before highlighting the previous monthly low of 1.3262, as well as the last November’s trough surrounding 1.3225 for bears.

Overall, USD/CAD is likely to be firmer unless breaking the 1.3525 level, but the upside room appears limited.

GBP/USD dips below 1.3350 with bullish momentum losing steam

The British Pound ticks lower against the US Dollar Monday, attempting to close a seven-day rally, as tensions rise again in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the critical points in the peace process between Washington and Tehran. The GBP/USD pair trades near 1.3340 at the time of writing, down from 1.3387 highs last week, although it maintains a near-term bullish trend intact.

EUR/USD clings to daily gains, still below 1.1450

EUR/USD manages to shrug off the initial bearish tone and advances toward the 1.1440-1.1450 band on Monday, up modestly for the day. Meanwhile, the pair’s mild gains comes on the back of the lack of clear direction in the Greenback in quite an apathetic start to the week.

Gold remains offered below $4,200

Gold comes under fresh downside pressure on Monday, reversing three daily upticks in a row and meeting some initial resistance around the $4,200 mark per troy ounce. Safe-haven demand has shifted toward the US Dollar as renewed tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz weigh on market sentiment, limiting the precious metal's upside.

XRP extends decline as risk-off sentiment, fading retail demand weigh

Ripple (XRP) sustains losses on Monday, edging lower toward the short-term $1.10 support. XRP failed to sustain momentum above $1.20 on the previous day, prompting profit-taking amid a broader crypto market drawdown attributed to mild inflows into related digital investment products, declining retail participation and macroeconomic uncertainty.

The US Dollar just beat the Swiss Franc at its own safe-haven game

As the king among safe havens, the Swiss Franc is supposed to benefit from geopolitical shocks such as the Iran war. This time, it didn’t. The Swissie is nearly 6% below January’s peak against the USD after a sharp decline that came along with the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Kevin Warsh offers no policy clues: Why markets still got their answer

Financial markets came to Sintra looking for clues about the Federal Reserve's (Fed) next move. They largely left with confirmation that Fed Chair Kevin Warsh intends to make those clues much harder to find.
