The USD/CAD is currently locked in a tug-of-war as technical support meets a sharp fundamental shift in energy markets. While broad US Dollar strength provided an early lift, the pair has encountered a significant “ceiling” that remains unbroken. The Fundamental Context: Oil vs. Greenback The primary catalyst for the recent reversal is a 7.3% surge

Having started the week and month with a sharp drop at the open, markets enter a new phase of high volatility in which traditional risk-off flows collide with uncertainty about monetary policy and corporate outlooks. Geopolitical risk dominates, and the coming days may be critical: escalation could lead to a deeper correction, as we suggested

The GBPUSD dipped below its 200-hour moving average during the European session but rebounded into the US morning. That recovery, however, ran out of steam ahead of the session highs. When price rolled back below the 200-hour MA (1.3521) and then the 100-hour MA (1.35125), sellers reasserted control and downside momentum accelerated. The pair extended

Despite a certain easing of geopolitical tensions after D. Trump’s speech at the Davos forum, as they say, a residue remains.
