USD/CAD Price Analysis: Refreshes one-week low on the way to 1.2520 support-zone

USD/CAD stands on slippery grounds after declining back below 100-SMA.
Bearish MACD, sustained break of the key SMAs keep sellers hopeful.
Immediate falling trend line, March top add to the upside barriers.

USD/CAD takes offers around 1.2530, down 0.12% intraday, during early Friday. In doing so, the quote drops to the fresh low since March 23 while extending the downside break of 100-SMA and 200-SMA.

Given the MACD conditions flashing bearish signals, USD/CAD sellers can cheer sustained trading below key SMAs to target a horizontal area comprising multiple levels since March 11, around 1.2520.

Although the strong support area is expected to trigger a bounce, any failures will have another bouncing point of 1.2500 round-figure, a break of which will highlight the 1.2475 and March’s low of 1.2365 for USD/CAD bears.

Meanwhile, corrective pullback beyond the 100-SMA level of 1.2540 will need to cross the downward sloping trend line from Tuesday, around 1.2585.

Some extra challenges for the USD/CAD buyers are 200-SMA and March 30 high, respectively around 1.2590 and 1.2650.

EUR/USD keeps the bid bias just over 1.1800

EUR/USD has started the week on a positive foot, hovering around the 1.1800 region in the latter part of Monday’s session. The pair’s recovery comes on the back of a decent decline in the US Dollar, as investors keep their attention on the evolving US–EU trade relationship after President Trump’s announcement of sweeping global tariff hikes.

GBP/USD looks stuck around 1.3500 amid firm gains

GBP/USD is pushing further north on Monday, revisiting the 1.3500 hurdle and beyond. Cable’s uptick is largely being fuelled by the broader softness in the Greenback, amid lingering uncertainty around tariffs.

Gold pops above $5,200, four-week highs

Gold is holding onto its bullish tone on Monday, reaching new multi-week highs just past the $5,200 mark per troy ounce. Fresh trade-war concerns, coupled with rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, are keeping demand for the yellow metal well on the rise.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP intensify sell-off as tariff uncertainty weighs

Supreme Court nixes tariffs, Trump teases 15% global tariff

On February 20th, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s global tariffs under IEEPA authority were unconstitutional, effectively nullifying the framework. However, the relief was short-lived. Within hours, Trump floated a 15% blanket tariff under an alternative legal authority.

XRP recovers slightly as bearish sentiment dominates crypto market

Ripple is rising above $1.40 at the time of writing on Monday amid fresh tariff-triggered headwinds in the broader cryptocurrency market. The sell-off to $1.33, the token’s intraday low, can be attributed to macroeconomic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and risk-averse sentiment among other factors.
