The USD/CAD pair is oscillating in a narrow range of 1.3362-1.3374 in the Asian session as investors are awaiting the announcement of the interest rate decision by the Bank of Canada (BoC) for fresh cues. The risk profile is demonstrating mixed signals, which might trigger volatility ahead.

S&P500 futures are showing losses in early Asia, failing to extend Monday’s bullish move further. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has extended its losses below 101.55 ahead of United States S&P PMI data. Meanwhile, the 10-year US Treasury yields have dropped to near 3.51%.

USD/CAD has dropped sharply to near the demand zone placed in a range of 1.3324-1.3359 on an hourly scale. The Lonnie asset witnessed a massive sell-off after surrendering the support of 1.3442. Downward-sloping 20-and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at 1.3376 and 1.3397 respectively, add to the downside filters.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) is oscillating in a 40.00-60.00 range. A breakdown of the RSI (14) into the bearish range of 20.00-40.00 will trigger the downside momentum.

Going forward, the Loonie asset will witness weakness if it drops below January 13 low at 1.3322. This will expose the asset for further weakness towards November 18 low at 1.3300 and November 15 low at 1.3226.

Alternatively, a break above January 12 high at 1.3461 will drive the asset towards the psychological resistance at 1.3500 followed by January 6 low at 1.3540.

EUR/USD trims losses, flirts with the 1.1850 zone

EUR/USD is back on the back foot on Wednesday, slipping below the 1.1850 area as the US Dollar picks up some modest traction. The move comes as traders position ahead of a busy run of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Adding to the pullback are reports that the ECB’s Lagarde may step down before completing her term.

GBP/USD flirts with daily highs near 1.3580

GBP/USD manages to set aside two consecutive daily declines and trades with slight gains in the 1.3580 zone on Wednesday. Cable’s uptick comes despite acceptable gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Gold gathers fresh upside traction on Wednesday, leaving part of the weakness seen at the beginning of the week and refocusing its attention to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce, all ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes and despite the modest uptick in the US Dollar.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple face downside risk as bears regain control
