USD/CAD Price Forecast: Tests 1.3700 support near moving averages

USD/CAD could test the upper rectangle channel boundary around 1.3750.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index holds in the mid-50s, signaling strengthening buying pressure.
The immediate support lies at the 1.3700 psychological level, aligned with the nine- and 50-day EMAs.

USD/CAD continues to lose ground for the second successive session, trading around 1.3710 during the Asian hours on Monday. The near-term bias holds mildly bullish as spot advances above the nine- and 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), indicating an emerging upward correction within a broader range.

Momentum supports this bid tone, with the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) holding in the mid-50s after recovering from sub-40 readings, signalling improving buying pressure rather than overbought conditions.

The technical analysis of the daily chart shows the USD/CAD pair remaining close to the upper boundary of the rectangle channel pattern around 1.3750. A successful break above the channel would offer confirmation of a bullish bias and support the pair to target the three-month high of 1.3928, recorded on January 16.

On the downside, the immediate support lies at the psychological level of 1.3700, aligned with the nine- and 50-day EMAs of 1.3697 and 1.3696, respectively. Further declines below these averages would put downward pressure on the USD/CAD pair to navigate the region around the lower boundary of rectangle 1.3540.

GBP/USD bounces off four-day lows, still below 1.3500

GBP/USD sticks to the bearish tone on Thursday, coming down to the 1.3480 region in the latter part of the NA session. In the meantime, Cable’s weakness comes as investors continue to assess mixed UK data, poor US results, and the persistent uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran conflict.

EUR/USD looks apathetic around 1.1530

EUR/USD reverses Wednesday’s downtick and trades with modest gains in the 1.1530 region following the end of the NA session on Thursday. The pair’s tepid advance comes on the back of the absence of clear direction in the US Dollar despite tensions from the Middle East appear far from alleviated. Later on Friday, investors are expected to monitor the the releases of another revision of GDP figures in the Euroland, US Retail Sales and the preliminary U-Mich gauge.

Gold remains on the defensive below $4,350; downside seems cushioned

Gold trades below $4,350 during the Asian session on Friday and looks to extend the previous day's pullback from the highest level since June 5 as the US-Iran standoff continues to underpin the US Dollar's reserve-currency status. However, reduced bets for an immediate Fed rate hike, amid signs of cooling US inflation, should act as a tailwind for the non-yielding bullion and help limit deeper losses.

Dogecoin reclaims $0.07 support as whales step in

Dogecoin (DOGE) edges above the daily open, trading above $0.070 as of Thursday. While this uptick offers a positive signal, DOGE continues to trade within a broader bearish context, down approximately 12% from its July peak of $0.079. Still, should the $0.070 support level hold, the mild recovery could gather pace, targeting resistance at $0.080 and potentially the key $0.100 threshold.

Why is Crude Oil priced for a reopening the ships haven't made?

Fourteen vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. Before the war, the count ran near 120 a day.
