Canadian Dollar Price Chart – USD/CAD Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/CAD on TradingView
USD/CAD marked a massive outside-reversal candle off uptrend resistance last week to post the largest single-week decline since March of 2022. Risk for a deeper setback here within the 2024 uptrend with key support seen at 1.4115/75- a region defined by the 2016 high-week close (HWC) and the 38.2% retracement of eh late-2023 advance. Note that the median-line converges on this threshold over the next few weeks- look for a larger reaction there IF reached.
Yearly open resistance stands at 1.4383 with a breach / close above the 2016 close high at 1.4538 needed to threaten uptrend resumption. Key resistance steady at 1.4660/90. Review my latest Canadian Dollar short-term outlook for a closer look at the near-term USD/CAD technical trade levels.
Gold Price Chart – XAU/USD Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
Gold is testing confluent uptrend resistance early in the week near 2900- looking for a reaction up here in the days ahead. Losses would need to be limited to 2798 IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above the upper parallel exposing the next major technical consideration at 3000/31. Gold remains vulnerable to volatility on tariff headlines- stay tuned here.
