USD/CAD holds lower ground near 1.3750 as it pares the biggest daily gains in a week during early Thursday morning in Europe. In doing so, the Loonie pair fades the previous day’s bounce off a three-week-old ascending support line while printing mild losses of late.

Apart from failing to rebound from the short-term key support, the receding bullish bias of the MACD signals and the RSI (14) line’s downward move, not oversold, also keeps the USD/CAD bears hopeful of poking the 1.3690 level, comprising the aforementioned trend.

It’s worth noting, however, that the 100-bar and 200-bar Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), respectively near 1.3660 and 1.3585, could challenge the USD/CAD bears afterward.

Also acting as a downside filter is the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s February-March upside, near 1.3565.

On the flip side, a downward-sloping resistance line from March 10, close to 1.3810 at the latest, appears crucial for the USD/CAD buyers to watch during the pair’s further upside as a clear break of which could quickly refresh the year 2023 peak, currently around 1.3860.

In that case, October 2022 peak surrounding 1.3980 and the 1.4000 psychological magnet will gain major attention.

EUR/USD meets initial support around 1.1800

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, although it has managed to reverse the initial strong pullback toward the 1.1800 region and regain some balance, hovering around the 1.1850 zone as the NA session draws to a close on Tuesday. Moving forward, market participants will now shift their attention to the release of the FOMC Minutes and US hard data on Wednesday.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold remains offered below $5,000

Gold stays on the defensive on Tuesday, receding to the sub-$5,000 region per troy ounce on the back of the persistent move higher in the Greenback. The precious metal’s decline is also underpinned by the modest uptick in US Treasury yields across the spectrum.
