USD/CAD Price Forecast: Rises toward 1.4050 due to potential for bullish reversal

  • USD/CAD is trying to rebound within its ascending channel around 1.4030.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index stays above the 60 mark, reinforcing the bullish outlook.
  • The primary support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.4016.

USD/CAD inches higher after registering losses in the previous session, trading around 1.4030 during the European hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a bullish reversal as the pair is attempting a rebound within the ascending channel pattern.

The short-term price momentum is stronger as the USD/CAD pair is positioned above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 60 level, supporting the bullish bias to revive.

On the upside, the successful return to the ascending channel would revive the bullish bias and support the USD/CAD pair to test the six-month high of 1.4079, reached on October 14. A break above this level would support the pair to explore the region around the ascending channel’s upper boundary at 1.4170.

The USD/CAD pair may find its immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 1.4016. A break below this level would weaken the short-term price momentum and put downward pressure on the pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3894. Further declines would prompt the pair to navigate the region around the three-month low of 1.3721.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital

With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
