USD/CAD Price Forecast: Rises above 1.4350 amid strengthening bullish bias

  • USD/CAD may rise toward the “pullback resistance” near the key psychological level of 1.4450. 
  • The bullish outlook stays intact, supported by the 14-day Relative Strength Index holding above 50. 
  • The nine-day Exponential Moving Average at 1.4286 could serve as the primary support level. 

The USD/CAD pair continues its winning streak for the fifth successive day, trading around 1.4360 during the Asian hours on Thursday. Technical analysis on the daily chart indicates that the pair rises above nine- and 14-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), suggesting a strengthening short-term price momentum.

Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 level, indicating a prevailing bullish outlook.

The USD/CAD pair could explore the region around the “pullback resistance” at a psychological level of 1.4450. A decisive break above this level would open the doors for the pair to approach the 1.4793, the highest since March 2003, reached on February 3.

On the downside, the initial support appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.4286, aligned with the 14-day EMA at 1.4284. A break below these levels could weaken the short-term price momentum and put pressure on the pair to test a two-month low at 1.4151, which was recorded on February 14.

A successful break below the two-month low could lead the USD/CAD pair to navigate the region around the three-month low of 1.3927, last reached on November 25.

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.

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.
