USD/CAD prints the biggest daily gains in a week, up 0.25% intraday around 1.2622 ahead of Thursday’s European session.

Although failures to cross 10-DMA dragged the quote to an ascending support line from June 01, firmer RSI and successful trading beyond 200-DMA, not to forget firmer fundamentals surrounding greenback, keeps the pair buyers hopeful.

Hence, the quote’s another battle with the 10-DMA level of 1.2650 becomes imminent.

However, July 20 lows near the 1.2680 threshold and a five-week-long horizontal resistance line near 1.2810 will challenge the USD/CAD bulls before pleasing them with the monthly low, also the 2021 top, near 1.2950. It’s worth mentioning that the 1.2835-40 area may also contribute towards making the buyer’s reign worrisome.

Alternatively, a daily closing below the stated support line, near 1.2585, will drag the quote to the 200-DMA level of 1.2545.

In a case where the USD/CAD bears keep reins past 1.2545, June high and August 11 low, near 1.2490 will precede July 30 bottom close to 1.2420 to gain the market’s attention.

AUD/USD keeps the red near 0.6950 after weak Aussie jobs data

AUD/USD holds losses near 0.6950 on disappointing Australian jobs data, extending the previous day's retracement slide from the monthly high and hitting a fresh weekly low during Thursday’s Asian session.

Gold sticks to gains below $4,150 on weak USD; bulls seem hesitant amid Fed hike bets

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
