USD/CAD Price Analysis: Remains pressured around 1.2800 as bears approach monthly support

USD/CAD extends the previous day’s pullback from 21-DMA, taking rounds to two-week low.
Bearish MACD signals, descending RSI line direct sellers towards monthly support.
Convergence of the 50-DMA, 100-DMA appears a tough nut to crack for bears.

USD/CAD stays on the back foot around the intraday low, surrounding a fortnight bottom, as bears cheer Friday’s pullback from the 21-DMA heading into Monday’s European session. That said, the Loonie pair drops to 1.2800 by the press time.

In addition to the sustained trading below 1.2800, bearish MACD signals and downward sloping RSI (14) line also keeps USD/CAD bears hopeful to revisit an ascending support line from April 26, around 1.2760 at the latest.

It’s worth noting, however, that the pair’s weakness past 1.2760 appears elusive as the 50-DMA and the 100-DMA will challenge the sellers around the 1.2700-2690 area.

Also acting as a downside filter is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of April-May upside, around 1.2650.

Meanwhile, recovery moves need to cross the 21-DMA hurdle surrounding 1.2870 to recall the USD/CAD buyers.

Following that, an upward trajectory towards a 23.6% Fibo level near 1.2915 can’t be ruled out.

However, the 1.3000 psychological magnet may test USD/CAD bulls ahead of directing them towards the monthly peak of 1.3076.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The GBP/USD pair gains traction to around 1.3520 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar faces some selling pressure against the Cable as tariff uncertainty lingers. Traders will take more cues from the US Producer Price Index report for January, which will be published later on Friday.

Gold eyes a daily closing above key 61.8% Fibo resistance

Gold is adding over 1% early Monday, after having gained 2% on Friday. The bright metal scales key technical hurdles, as buyers stay strong amid renewed tariffs and economic uncertainty alongside looming US-Iran geopolitical tensions.

Top Crypto Losers: Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero extended losses as Bitcoin loses $65,000

The cryptocurrency market starts the week in panic mode, with altcoins Zcash, Pump.fun, and LayerZero. Bitcoin falls below $65,000 as the US President Donald Trump regroups amid renewed trade policy risks.

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
