USD/CAD trades around 1.3920 during the European hours on Monday, halting its five-winning streak. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests that the pair moves upwards within an ascending channel pattern, suggesting that the bullish bias prevails.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 level, strengthening the ongoing bullish bias. Additionally, the USD/CAD pair remains above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting the short-term price momentum is stronger.

On the upside, the USD/CAD pair may target the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.4000, followed by the five-month high at 1.4016, which was reached on May 13. A break above this crucial resistance zone would strengthen the bullish bias and support the pair to approach the psychological level of 1.4100.

The USD/CAD pair may find its initial support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3876, aligned with the ascending channel’s lower boundary around 1.3870. A break below the channel would weaken the bullish bias and put downward pressure on the pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3809.

Further declines below the 50-day EMA would dampen the medium-term price momentum and prompt the pair to navigate the region around the two-month low of 1.3721, which was recorded on August 7.

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.
