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 consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading 

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

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.
