USD/CAD Price Analysis: Seesaws between 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, 100-day EMA

USD/CAD steps back from 100-day EMA, still positive on a day above the weekly low of 1.3728.
200-day EMA offers additional support below 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
May 19 low, 50% Fibonacci retracement can challenge the buyers.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

USD/CAD drops from the intraday high of 1.3785 to 1.3773 amid the initial hour of Tokyo trading on Friday. In doing so, the pair retreats from 100-day EMA but stays above 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of February-March upside.

Even so, the bearish MACD and a failure to carry the bounce off 1.3728 favors the sellers.

As a result, odds of the pair’s drop to a 200-day EMA level of 1.3585 become brighter if it breaks the immediate supports surrounding 1.3765 and 1.3730.

On the contrary, an upside clearance of a 100-day EMA level of 1.3780 might not help the bulls regain the throne as May 19 low near 1.3865/70 and 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 1.3940 stand all as near-term key resistances.

EUR/USD keeps the rangebound trade near 1.1850

EUR/USD is still under pressure, drifting back towards the 1.1850 area as Monday’s session draws to a close. The modest decline in spot comes as the US Dollar picks up a bit of support, while thin liquidity and muted volatility, thanks to the US market holiday, are exaggerating price swings and keeping trading conditions choppy.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold battle around $5,000 continues

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

AI Crypto Update: Bittensor eyes breakout as AI tokens falter

The artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency segment is witnessing heightened volatility, with top tokens such as Near Protocol (NEAR) struggling to gain traction amid the persistent decline in January and February.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise

Ripple is trading in a narrow range between $1.45 (immediate support) and $1.50 (resistance) at the time of writing on Monday. The remittance token extended its recovery last week, peaking at $1.67 on Sunday from the weekly open at $1.43.
