USD/CAD continues its losing streak for the third consecutive day, trading around 1.4330 during Thursday’s Asian session. Technical analysis on the daily chart suggests the pair remains within a descending channel pattern, reinforcing a bearish outlook.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits just below 50, indicating a bearish sentiment. A continued decline could further validate the downside bias. Additionally, the USD/CAD pair remains below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), signaling weaker short-term price momentum.

The initial support is located at the 50-day EMA of 1.4306, closely aligned with the psychological level of 1.4300. A decisive break below this key support zone could accelerate bearish momentum, potentially driving the USD/CAD pair toward the three-month low of 1.4151, last seen on February 14.

On the upside, the USD/CAD pair faces immediate resistance at the nine-day EMA of 1.4371, followed by the upper boundary of the descending channel near 1.4530. A breakout above this channel could weaken the bearish outlook, potentially opening the door for a rally toward 1.4793—the highest level since March 2003, recorded on February 3.

AUD/USD stuck as the RBA talks tough into a slowdown

The Australian Dollar is going nowhere in a hurry, and the contradiction at its core explains why. The Reserve Bank of Australia keeps dangling the prospect of another hike, yet the economy it governs just expanded 0.3% in the first quarter, a clear step down from the prior pace. A central bank threatening to tighten into a visible slowdown is not a recipe for conviction in either direction, and the tape shows it.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen coiled at the line, leaning on everyone but Japan

The Yen is doing very little, and that stasis is the whole story. USD/JPY sits glued near 160.00 not because Japan has found new strength, but because two outside forces are fighting to a draw over it: a US rate complex that keeps the dollar bid, and a Ministry of Finance that refuses to let the line break.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
