USD/CAD Price Analysis: Moves below 1.3350 followed by the weekly low

  • USD/CAD moves down in the negative territory as US Dollar fails to hold gains.
  • A break above 1.3350 could lead the pair to approach the seven-day EMA at 1.3398 aligned with the psychological level at 1.3400.
  • Technical indicators suggest the confirmation of further decline and testing the weekly low at 1.3311.

USD/CAD retraces its recent gains, trading below the major resistance at the 1.3350 level. The USD/CAD pair faces downward pressure on the subdued US Dollar (USD), along with higher Crude oil prices.

Breaking through the significant level has the potential to propel the USD/CAD pair upward, targeting the seven-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3398, in conjunction with the psychological resistance level at 1.3400.

Further surpassing this psychological resistance may lead the pair to explore the vicinity of the major level at 1.3450, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.3452.

On the flip side, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) technical indicator for the USD/CAD pair hints at a potential bearish trend. With the MACD line positioned below the centerline and showing divergence below the signal line, there's an indication of a possible further decline.

The analysis adds weight to the prevailing dovish sentiment surrounding the USD/CAD pair, emphasizing the importance of the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) dipping below 50. This confirmation suggests that the pair could revisit the weekly low around the 1.3311 level. A break below the weekly low holds the potential to push the USD/CAD pair towards the psychological level at 1.3300.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY stabilizes at around 154.00 as markets assess BoJ outlook

USD/JPY fluctuates at around 154.00 in the American session on Tuesday after rebounding from the six-month low it touched below 153.00 earlier in the day. Nevertheless, the upside attempts resemble technical corrections for now as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to support the Japanese Yen.

Gold holds around $4,400, but for how long?
Gold (XAU/USD) remains on the back foot during American trading hours on Tuesday, even as the US Dollar (USD) remains on the defensive.

XRP ticks up as bullish derivatives, EMA support signal breakout
Ripple (XRP) is grinding upward and getting closer to a short-term breakout above $1.40 on Tuesday. This uptick follows the remittance token's defense of support at $1.38, after a short-lived attempt to breach selling pressure at $1.50 last week.

Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Sweden issued a joint position on 27 August calling for the nearly €2 trillion proposal to be reduced by several hundred billion euros and rejecting additional common EU borrowing.
Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
