- USD/CAD remains pressured after reversing from two-month high.
- Clear upside break of 50-DMA joins upbeat oscillators to defend Loonie pair buyers.
- Tops marked since early June, 100-DMA guard immediate upside.
USD/CAD stays depressed near 1.3370 after reversing from the highest level in two months the previous day. That said, the Loonie pair snapped a four-day uptrend the previous day before posting a lackluster start to the Asian session on Tuesday.
USD/CAD took a U-turn from the 100-DMA and closed beneath a two-month-old horizontal resistance to lure the Loonie (CAD) buyers. However, the bullish MACD signals for the pair and the upbeat RSI (14) line, not overbought, suggests further upside of the quote.
Hence, USD/CAD may witness a slower grind toward the north wherein the aforementioned horizontal resistance zone surrounding 1.3390 and the 100-DMA hurdle of around 1.3400 could restrict the short-term upside of the Loonie pair.
Following that, a downward-sloping resistance line from early March and the 200-DMA, respectively near 1.3435 and 1.3455, will act as the final defense of the USD/CAD bears.
On the contrary, the monthly lows of May and April, close to 1.3315 and 1.3300 in that order, can lure the short-term sellers of the USD/CAD pair ahead of the 50-DMA level of 1.3270.
It’s worth noting, however, that a daily closing below the 50-DMA support of 1.3270 will make the USD/CAD pair vulnerable to drop towards a three-week-old rising support line near 1.3180.

Editors’ Picks
AUD/USD remains on track to snap five weeks of losing streak
AUD/USD consolidates the previous day's strong move up to over a two-week high and remains on track to register gains for the first time in six weeks. The unwinding of the Trump trade, the Fed's failure to indicate that it was likely to pause rate cuts, the RBA's hawkish stance and hopes for more stimulus from China act as a tailwind for the Aussie.
USD/JPY holds steady above 153.00; intervention fears might cap gains
USD/JPY edges higher on Friday and reverses a part of the previous day's corrective slide from its highest level since July 30. The upbeat market mood and the BoJ rate-hike uncertainty undermine the safe-haven JPY. That said, speculations that Japanese authorities might intervene in the markets could cap the pair.
Gold price consolidates above $2,700 amid mixed cues
Gold price hovers above $2,700 during the Asian session on Friday and looks to build on the overnight solid recovery from the vicinity of the 50-day SMA support, or over a three-week low. In the absence of strong hawkish signals from the Fed, the unwinding of the so-called Trump trade and retreating US bond yields keep the USD bulls on the defensive.

XRP exchange reserves across the Binance and Upbit crypto exchanges have begun trending downward after rising by nearly 62 million XRP between November 3 and 5.
