USD/CAD extends pullback from 1.3017 towards dropping back inside a weekly ascending trend channel formation. That said, the Loonie pair stays depressed at around 1.2980 by the press time of Friday’s Asian session.

A two-day-old support line joins the 50% Fibonacci retracement of June 16-17 upside to highlight 1.2970 as the short-term key support.

Following that, the aforementioned channel’s lower line, at 1.2935 by the press time, will be crucial for the USD/CAD bears to watch.

Should the quote remains bearish past 1.2935, the odds of witnessing a south-run towards the mid-June trough surrounding 1.2860 can’t be ruled out.

Alternatively, the upper line of the stated channel, around 1.3015, restricts short-term advances of the USD/CAD pair.

Following that, the double tops around 1.3080 will be important to track as a clear upside break of the 1.3080 hurdle could theoretically propel the prices towards 1.3650. However, the late 2020 peak near 1.3420 may offer intermediate halts during the run-up.

To sum up, USD/CAD braces for short-term declines but the overall trend remains bullish.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday.
