USD/CAD renews its intraday low near 1.3490 during early Monday morning in Europe. In doing so, The Loonie pair justifies Friday’s Doji candlestick, as well as a steady RSI (14) line and bullish MACD signals.

With this, the USD/CAD pair is likely to remain sidelined between the 100-DMA and 200-DMA, respectively near 1.3510 and 1.3480.

It’s worth noting that the Loonie pair’s downside break of 1.3480 allows it to take a chance about further bearish bias over the USD/CAD pair as it needs to cross a two-week-old upward-sloping support line, close to 1.3475 by the press time.

Following that, the USD/CAD fall towards the 1.3400 round figure and then to the yearly low of around 1.3300 can’t be ruled out.

On the flip side, a daily closing beyond the 100-DMA hurdle of around 1.3510 isn’t an open welcome to the USD/CAD bulls as a downward-sloping resistance line from March, close to 1.3550, appears a tough nut to crack for the pair buyers.

In a case where the USD/CAD manages to stay firmer beyond 1.3550, a gradual run-up toward the previous monthly low of around 1.3665 can’t be ruled out.

Overall, USD/CAD is likely to remain sidelined but the bears have upper hand of late.

AUD/USD sits at three-week highs above 0.7000 on hawkish RBA-speak

AUD/USD holds a positive bias for the fourth straight day, trading above 0.7000 in the Asian session on Wednesday and at three-week highs. RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser's hawkish remarks and inflation concerns underpin the pair. However, the upside appears capped as the US Dollar attracts some buyers amid looming US-Iran uncertainty.

USD/JPY remains confined in a familiar range below 158.50

USD/JPY sees some dip-buying in the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains confined within a multi-week range near 158.50 as the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike keeps Japanese Yen bulls on the defensive. Meanwhile, hawkish Fed expectations, bolstered by inflation risks stemming from volatile oil prices, underpin the US Dollar. However, looming intervention fears could limit JPY losses and cap the currency pair.

Gold advances modestly; targets $4,150

Gold prices manage to reverse three consecutive daily declines, trading just below the $4,150 mark per troy ounce on Wednesday. The precious metal’s recovery comes amid a slight drop in the US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields across the board and a widespread cautious tone from the US-Iran front.

Bitcoin eyes a break above $85,000 as institutional demand returns

Bitcoin edges higher above $83,000, extending its rebound from the 50-day EMA near $80,786. US-listed BTC spot ETFs recorded over $23 million in net inflows on Tuesday, following Monday's $526 million, signaling a return of institutional demand.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything

Gold (XAU/USD) is struggling to capitalize on a weaker US Dollar (USD), after repeatedly failing to establish itself above the $4,200 level. The precious metal remains confined to a relatively narrow trading range despite a combination of developments that would normally support higher prices.
