USD/CAD continues its losing streak for the third successive session, trading near 1.4290 during European hours on Tuesday. Technical analysis on the daily chart indicates a breakdown below an ascending channel pattern, signaling a shift toward bearish sentiment.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below 50, confirming the bearish outlook prevails. Additionally, the USD/CAD pair is trading below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting weak short-term price momentum.

A break below the ascending channel has weakened the market sentiment and put downward pressure on the USD/CAD pair to navigate the area around the three-month low of 1.4151, last seen on February 14.

On the upside, immediate resistance is at the psychological level of 1.4300, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.4322 and the nine-day EMA at 1.4353. A break above this resistance zone could strengthen short-term price momentum, potentially driving the USD/CAD pair toward the monthly high of 1.4543, recorded on March 4.

Further resistance is seen at the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 1.4700. A breakout above this level could reinforce the bullish bias and pave the way for a test of 1.4793, the highest level since March 2003, reached on February 3.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD looks inconclusive near 1.1420

EUR/USD trades in a tight range in the low 1.1400s on Tuesday, struggling to gain momentum amid an equally absence of clear direction in the US Dollar (USD). Uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran conflict is capping the pair’s upside, while traders avoid taking significant positions ahead of Thursday’s ECB gathering.

Gold shows signs of life; focus is back to $4,100

Gold gains ground on Tuesday, reversing Monday’s pessimism and advancing toward the $4,100 mark per troy ounce.

XRP extends recovery as on-chain activity grows

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.
