USD/CAD is holding near fresh yearly highs, but bearish divergence and a well-defined October range raise the stakes at major resistance.

Tomorrow brings an important inflation print as Treasury yields have started to stall and expectations for rate hikes have pared back. But another jolt to inflation could tilt those odds and impact price action across the USD complex.

The trading week continues to unfold and, for now, USD/CAD remains trapped in a relatively consistent phase of indecision. The Canadian dollar has managed to hold on to some of its recent strength, which can be seen in the pair's performance over the last two sessions, where it has declined by roughly 0.2%.

The US Dollar remained strong last week even as EUR/USD started to show a series of higher-lows. USD/JPY continues to be bought on dips as the fundamental deviation between the two economies remains front-and-center.

USD/CAD is holding near fresh yearly highs, with a tight October range keeping the focus on a potential breakout through major resistance.

The US Dollar hit a fresh yearly high and is currently testing above a major level, but EUR/USD has already pushed into extreme territory and that begs the question around continuation potential in each market. Meanwhile, USD/JPY retains bullish short-term structure.

The trading week continues to unfold, and the Canadian dollar has begun to show signs of renewed strength in the short term. This can be seen in recent USD/CAD price action, with the pair posting a decline of roughly 0.2% over the last two sessions, allowing the Canadian currency to recover part of the ground lost in previous weeks.

USD/CAD recovered quickly after weaker US jobs data, keeping the bullish trend in focus. A move above the June highs could accelerate the rally as inflation keeps the Fed under pressure.

U.S. 10-year Treasury yields are nearing a long-term resistance zone with overbought RSI readings, raising near-term pullback risk for the dollar.

USD/CAD has printed a clear bearish reversal pattern after an extraordinary September surge, but confirmation may depend heavily on how US Treasury yields react to Friday’s payrolls report.

The Canadian dollar continues to face one of its most challenging environments in recent months when it comes to maintaining strength against the U.S. dollar. The weakness of the Canadian currency is clearly reflected in USD/CAD, which has now recorded nine consecutive bullish sessions and gained more than 1.7% during that period.
