USD/CAD steadies as Middle East war supports Dollar, Canada CPI data looms

💡 DMK Insight

USD/CAD’s bounce from 1.3650 is a critical moment for traders to watch. The pair’s stability around 1.3690 suggests a potential consolidation phase, but the recent low indicates underlying volatility. If the pair can hold above 1.3650, it might signal a bullish reversal, especially if we see a break above 1.3700, which could attract more buying interest. However, a drop below 1.3650 could trigger further selling, pushing it toward the next support level. Keep an eye on economic indicators from both the U.S. and Canada this week, as they could provide the catalyst for a breakout in either direction. The market’s reaction to these data points will be crucial, particularly for day traders looking for short-term moves. Worth noting, if the USD shows strength against other currencies, it could weigh on USD/CAD, despite the recent bounce. So, monitor correlated assets like crude oil, as a drop in oil prices could negatively impact the CAD, providing further upside for USD/CAD.
