USD/CAD Price Analysis: Keeps the bearish vibe unchanged above the 1.3400 mark

  • USD/CAD loses traction near 1.3407 despite the firmer US Dollar. 
  • The bearish outlook remains intact below the key EMA; RSI indicator is located in the bearish territory below the 50 midline.
  • The first support level is seen at 1.3350; the immediate resistance level will emerge at 1.3440.

The USD/CAD pair trades on a softer note for the fourth consecutive day during the early European session on Tuesday. The higher oil prices amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lift the commodity-linked Loonie and weigh on the USD/CAD pair. The pair currently trades around 1.3405, losing 0.04% on the day. 

Technically, USD/CAD keeps the bearish bias unchanged as the pair is below the 50- and 100-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the four-hour chart. The path of the least resistance of USD/CAD is to the downside, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands in bearish territory below the 50-midline.

A bearish breakout below the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at 1.3393 will see a drop to a low of January 11 at 1.3350. Any follow-through selling below the latter will expose the 1.3300 psychological support level, en route to a low of January 2 at 1.3228.

On the upside, the first upside barrier of the pair is located at the 100-period EMA at 1.3440. The additional upside filter to watch is the 50-period EMA at 1.3450. Further north, the next hurdle will emerge at the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band at 1.3516, followed by a high of January 25 at 1.3534.

GBP/USD knocks ten-week highs ahead of holiday slowdown

GBP/USD found room on the high side on Monday, kicking off a holiday-shortened trading week with a fresh spat of Greenback weakness, bolstering the Pound Sterling into its highest bids in ten weeks.

Gold bulls seem unstoppable amid supportive fundamental backdrop

Gold is seen building on the previous day's strong rally of over 2% and continues scaling new all-time highs for the second consecutive day on Tuesday. The commodity climbs closer to the $4,500 psychological mark during the Asian session and remains well supported by a combination of factors.

Ten questions that matter going into 2026

2026 may be less about a neat “base case” and more about a regime shift—the market can reprice what matters most (growth, inflation, fiscal, geopolitics, concentration). The biggest trap is false comfort: the same trades can look defensive… right up until they become crowded.

XRP steadies above $1.90 support as fund inflows and retail demand rise

Ripple (XRP) is stable above support at $1.90 at the time of writing on Monday, after several attempts to break above the $2.00 hurdle failed to materialize last week. Meanwhile, institutional interest in the cross-border remittance token has remained steady.
