USD/CAD breaks its three-day losing streak, trading around 1.3730 during the European session on Thursday. Analysis of the daily chart suggests a weakening bullish bias for the USD/CAD pair, as it has broken below the rising channel pattern. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still positioned slightly above the 50 level. Further movement may give a clear directional indication.

Additionally, the momentum indicator Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggests a bullish trend for the pair as the MACD line is positioned above the centerline, it shows divergence above the signal line.

The USD/CAD pair may test the lower boundary of the rising channel around the level of 1.3760, followed by the key barrier at the psychological level of 1.3800. A return to the rising channel could reinforce the bullish bias and support the pair to explore the region April’s high of 1.3846.

A break above the latter could lead the USD/CAD pair to approach the upper threshold of the rising channel around the level of 1.3870.

On the downside, the USD/CAD pair could find immediate support at the psychological level of 1.3700, aligned with the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of 1.3697 level. A break below this level could exert pressure on the pair to navigate the region of the throwback support at 1.3590.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold struggles below $4,300 level with bears still in control

Gold is trimming some losses on Friday, trading just below the $4,300 level after bouncing from support in the $4,230 area. The broader bearish trend, however, remains intact as market expectations pf further Federal Reserve rate highs and long-term US Treasury yields above the 5% level are likely to pose a heavy weight on precious metals.

Ripple, Cardano, Solana: ETF inflows and whale demand signal further rally

Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) continue to experience a steady recovery with double-digit gains so far this month. Ripple and Solana experience firm institutional demand, while the percentage of ADA supply in profit rises, underpinned by interest from large-wallet investors, commonly referred to as whales.

The Dollar is winning, but markets may be losing

The dollar is strengthening, Treasury yields are approaching levels not seen in almost two decades, and oil prices are again adding to inflation concerns. For currency traders, these developments appear to offer a relatively straightforward conclusion: higher US interest rates should support the dollar. But the broader market picture is considerably more complicated.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
