USD/CAD Price Forecast: Rebounds toward nearly 15-month highs, 1.4250

  • USD/CAD targets the primary resistance at a nearly 15-month high of 1.4248.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 78.6 indicates overbought conditions.
  • The pair may find primary support at the nine-day EMA of 1.4177.

USD/CAD posts gains after registering minor losses in the previous day, trading around 1.4210 during the European hours on Wednesday. The pair is positioned close to nearly 15-month highs. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates the pair is remaining within the ascending channel pattern, indicating a persistent bullish bias.

The USD/CAD pair is holding a firm bullish bias as it extends its advance above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The short-term EMA running above the longer-term EMA reinforces the constructive trend, while the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 78.6 sits in overbought territory, hinting that upside momentum remains strong but leaves the pair vulnerable to corrective pullbacks if buyers lose conviction near current levels.

The USD/CAD pair may target the primary barrier at the nearly 15-month high of 1.4248, reached on June 24, aligned with the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.4320. A sustained break above this confluence resistance zone would open the door for further gains toward 1.4400.

The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.4177. Breaking below it weakens momentum and put downward pressure on the pair to test the lower boundary of the ascending channel around 1.4040. Further declines would explore the region around the 50-day EMA at 1.3947.

AUD/USD bulls seem hesitant near 0.6950

AUD/USD attracts some buyers for the second straight day, though it remains confined within Friday's broader range amid mixed cues. The US PCE data and the US NFP report released last week tempered October Fed hike bets, dragging US bond yields away from multi-year highs and keeping US Dollar bulls on the back foot. However, geopolitical uncertainty is a tailwind for the safe-haven buck, while the RBA's cautious outlook caps the Aussie.

USD/JPY holds losses below 158.00 amid hawkish BoJ bets, firmer USD

USD/JPY holds losses below 158.00 in the Asian session on Monday, trading within a one-week-old range. The pair remains weighed down by hawkish BoJ expectations amid looming intervention risks that support the Japanese Yen, while geopolitical uncertainty continues to underpin the US Dollar, despite fading Fed rate hike hopes, limiting the pair's downside.

Gold trades with positive bias around $4,150; upside seems capped

Gold attracts some dip-buyers at the start of a new week, though it remains confined in a familiar range held over the past week or so. Against the backdrop of soft US PCE data, Friday's weak US NFP report tempered bets of an October Fed rate hike. This, in turn, drags US bond yields away from multi-year highs and benefits the non-yielding bullion. The US Dollar, however, draws support from geopolitical uncertainties and could act as a headwind for the precious metal.

Why the US Dollar keeps climbing despite weaker jobs data
The US Dollar’s (USD) rally remained everything but abated, climbing for the third consecutive week and reaching levels last seen in April 2025. The move higher came on the back of a mixed performance in US Treasury yields, extending their rally in the belly and long end of the curve while losing some momentum at the short end.
WTI drops to near $89.00 as G7 taps emergency reserves

West Texas Intermediate oil price extends its losses for the second successive day, trading around $89.30 during Asian hours on Monday. Crude oil prices experienced a decline after G7 nations agreed to release 100 million barrels of crude and diesel from emergency reserves, pledging to avoid energy export restrictions following pressure from US President Donald Trump.

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall

EUR/USD has fallen to its lowest level since May 2025. The pair hit 1.1312 on Wednesday and trades well below the January peak of 1.2082. The decline reflects a powerful combination of US Dollar strength, geopolitical uncertainty and renewed concerns about Europe's exposure to higher energy prices.
