USD/CAD snaps a two-day winning streak on the back of the recent increase in Crude oil prices. However, the pair received upward support after the release of upbeat economic data from the United States (US).

The USD/CAD pair trades lower around 1.3660 during the European session on Friday, lined up with the support at the 1.3650 level, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.3616 level.

A decisive break below the latter could open the door for the USD/CAD pair to navigate the region around the psychological level at 1.3600 close to the 22-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3599.

On the flip side, the weekly high at 1.3700 major level could act as immediate resistance, followed by the 1.3750 psychological level aligned to the monthly high at 1.3785.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line positioned above both the centerline and the signal line suggests a potential bullish momentum in market sentiment.

Additionally, the USD/CAD pair continues to maintain a prevailing bullish momentum, emphasizing a stronger bias. This is evident as the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above the 50 level.

EUR/USD looks sidelined below 1.1600

EUR/USD remains on the back foot in the latter part of the NA session on Thursday, now attempting a consolidative theme in the sub-1.1600 region. A more cautious market mood, driven by the escalating conflict in the Middle East, together with broad-based strength in the US Dollar, is favouring the continuation of the leg lower in spot.

GBP/USD loses the grip, focus is on 1.3300

GBP/USD remains on the defensive on Thursday, hovering around the 1.3320 region. The British Pound is coming under pressure amid growing concerns that rising energy prices could expose the UK economy to stagflation risks, while renewed safe-haven demand for the Greenback continues to weigh on the pair.

Gold falls as demand for the US Dollar resurges

Gold turns lower on Thursday, slipping back toward the $5,100 area. Persistent strength in the US Dollar (USD) is preventing the precious metal from building a meaningful recovery, even as markets remain risk-averse amid the deepening conflict in the Middle East.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP hold weekly gains despite US-Iran war

The cryptocurrency market is gaining strength on Thursday, building on Wednesday's upswing, which saw Bitcoin reach a weekly high above $74,000. Ethereum and Ripple are moderating their recent gains amid uncertainty stemming from the escalating war in the Middle East.

Two PMIs, two Chinas

China’s economic data are often treated with a degree of caution by global investors. The challenge is not necessarily that the numbers are incorrect, but that they can describe very different parts of a vast and complex economy. Nowhere is that more evident than in China’s PMIs.

Ripple tests recovery strength amid steady ETF inflows, growing retail interest

Ripple (XRP) continues to demonstrate notable resilience as the cryptocurrency market navigates the persistent war in the Middle East after the United States (US) and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday.
