Bearish Bias Holds as Oil Rises & Rate Differentials NarrowUSDCAD โ Bearish Bias Holds as Oil Rises & Rate Differentials Narrow
๐ Macro & Fundamental Outlook
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) continues to gain ground this week, supported by two key drivers:
Crude oil prices surged due to Middle East tensions and renewed demand optimism โ boosting CAD as a commodity-linked currency.
US-Canada yield spreads narrowed, following revised expectations that the Bank of Canada (BoC) may keep rates higher for longer, while the Fed is seen pausing.
Short-term event risks to watch:
๐จ๐ฆ Canadian Manufacturing Sales data today at 13:30 GMT
๐จ๐ฆ G7 Summit in Alberta from June 15โ17, which may influence oil and energy policy sentiment
Our latest fair value estimate for USDCAD has shifted lower to 1.3613, reflecting tighter rate spreads and stronger oil. Technical structure remains tilted to the downside.
๐ Technical Outlook โ M30 Chart
๐น Structure:
Price remains in a short-term downtrend, with a well-defined descending trendline capping upside attempts.
The pair recently tested the EMA 89โ200 zone and failed, suggesting continued bearish pressure.
๐น Key Zones:
Dynamic Resistance: 1.3638 โ 1.3660 (trendline + EMA cluster)
Support Area: 1.3592 โ 1.3578
A break below 1.3578 could expose deeper downside toward 1.3420 (September lows)
๐น Momentum Indicators:
RSI has bounced from oversold (30) but remains in bearish territory.
The current rebound looks corrective โ potentially a dead cat bounce.
๐ง Market Sentiment
Flows favour commodity-backed currencies like CAD, especially with energy prices rising.
USD has weakened slightly as the Fed is expected to hold rates steady next week.
Sentiment is leaning toward "sell the rallies" on USDCAD for now.
๐ฏ Trade Setup Scenarios
๐ป SELL SCENARIO โ If price retests and rejects 1.3638 โ 1.3660
Entry: 1.3640 โ 1.3655
Stop-Loss: 1.3685
Targets: 1.3592 โ 1.3578 โ 1.3510
๐บ BUY SCENARIO โ If strong bullish reaction occurs at 1.3592 โ 1.3578
Entry: 1.3580
Stop-Loss: 1.3545
Targets: 1.3620 โ 1.3640
โ ๏ธ Focus on trend continuation. Only consider buys if clear rejection or bullish confirmation appears at support.
โ
Conclusion
The current trend in USDCAD favours sellers, with fundamental momentum supporting CAD via higher oil and narrowing yield differentials. Key resistance at 1.3638โ1.3660 remains the pivot zone to monitor. With Canadian data and the G7 Summit ahead, volatility could increase.
Dollar Momentum Fades | Can 143.07 Hold as Support?USDJPY โ Dollar Momentum Fades | Can 143.07 Hold as Support?
๐ Fundamental & Macro Outlook
USDJPY has faced strong downside pressure recently as risk-off sentiment boosts demand for the Japanese Yen, following escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
The US Dollar Index (DXY) rallied on geopolitical concerns but is struggling to sustain momentum near the 98.30 resistance zone.
Despite the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy, JPY is acting as a safe haven in current global risk conditions.
Traders are awaiting next weekโs monetary policy decisions from both the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Both central banks are expected to keep rates unchanged, but forward guidance could spark major volatility.
According to UOB Group, the dollar's recovery potential is weakening, and further downside toward 142.20 is possible, unless price reclaims the 144.60โ144.95 resistance zone.
๐ Technical Analysis โ H1 Chart
๐ธ Trend Structure
USDJPY remains in a mild downtrend, but price has bounced from the 143.074 key support zone.
A recovery towards 144.624 is in play, but that zone must be cleared for bullish continuation.
๐ธ EMA Outlook
Price is currently testing the EMA 89 and 200 โ a rejection from this area could trigger another move down.
EMA 13 & 34 are now acting as short-term dynamic support.
๐ธ Key Price Zones
Resistance: 144.60 โ 145.26
Support: 143.07 โ 142.20
๐ง Market Sentiment
Risk aversion continues to dominate as geopolitical headlines drive sentiment.
The Yen is benefitting from capital protection flows despite Japanโs dovish stance.
Large funds may be starting to hedge by rotating into JPY from elevated USD levels.
๐ฏ Trading Scenarios for June 13
๐ Scenario 1 โ Short Setup (Rejection at Resistance)
Entry: 144.60 โ 144.90
Stop-Loss: 145.30
Take-Profit: 143.60 โ 143.07 โ 142.50
๐ Scenario 2 โ Long Setup (Rebound from Support)
Entry: 143.10 โ 143.20
Stop-Loss: 142.70
Take-Profit: 144.00 โ 144.60
โ
Wait for confirmation at key levels โ avoid trading in the middle of the range when volatility is headline-driven.
โ
Conclusion
USDJPY remains trapped between strong resistance at 145.26 and buying interest at 143.07. If risk sentiment persists, the Yen may continue to strengthen. However, central bank decisions next week (Fed & BoJ) will be the major catalysts for any medium-term breakout.
GBPUSD โ Sterling Slips Amid Geopolitical Risk |GBPUSD โ Sterling Slips Amid Geopolitical Risk | Will Support Hold for a Bounce?
๐ Macro & Geopolitical Overview
The British Pound (GBP) is under pressure as risk sentiment deteriorates following a sharp escalation between Israel and Iran.
Israel launched a major military campaign, striking dozens of nuclear and military facilities in northeastern Tehran.
PM Netanyahu announced the start of "Operation Rising Lion", aimed at eliminating the Iranian nuclear threat.
US President Donald Trump voiced support, stating that Iran โmust never have a nuclear bomb.โ
Investors reacted by fleeing to safe-haven assets, pushing the US Dollar (DXY) from 97.60 to nearly 98.30.
Meanwhile, next weekโs Bank of England (BoE) and Federal Reserve meetings are in focus. Both are expected to hold rates steady, but weak UK economic data may pressure the BoE to adopt a more cautious or dovish tone.
๐ Technical Analysis โ H1 Chart
๐ธ Trend Structure
GBPUSD broke down from its recent high at 1.36288 and is now approaching key support between 1.35350 and 1.34957.
As long as 1.3495 holds, the move appears to be a technical correction, not a reversal.
๐ธ Fibonacci & Moving Averages
Current price sits near Fibonacci 0.236 retracement of the recent swing.
Price is trading below the EMA 13 & 34, but EMA 200 near 1.353x still acts as potential support.
๐ธ Resistance to Watch
The next upside target sits at 1.3588, followed by the previous high at 1.3628.
๐ง Market Sentiment
Risk aversion is dominating due to geopolitical headlines.
GBP is vulnerable as a risk-sensitive currency.
However, if tensions ease and central bank decisions next week come in line with expectations, GBP could rebound from its currently discounted levels.
๐ฏ Trade Setup Suggestion
โ
BUY ZONE: 1.35350 โ 1.34957
Stop-Loss: 1.3460
Take-Profit Targets: 1.3588 โ 1.3628
Enter only on bullish price action confirmation around the support zone.
โ
Conclusion
GBPUSD is trading under geopolitical stress, but the technical setup around 1.3495 โ 1.3535 offers a potential bounce zone. A short-term recovery could unfold if sentiment stabilizes and central banks maintain the expected policy stance.
AUD/USD at Critical Resistance โ Bearish Outlook Below 0.65381. Major Resistance Zone: 0.65380
Price is currently testing a strong horizontal resistance level at 0.65380, a level that has been tested multiple times (as shown by the pink circles).
This level has acted as a historical turning point, which increases its significance.
2. Price Structure: Lower Highs and Equal Highs
The chart reveals a potential double top or distribution pattern, forming under the 0.65380 resistance.
This suggests weakening bullish momentum and increases the probability of a bearish reversal.
3. Projected Bearish Path (White Dotted Lines):
If price fails to break above 0.65380 decisively, the expected move is a stepwise decline.
The projected path targets several support levels:
0.65003
0.64647
0.64213
0.63957
Final target: 0.63627, a key support from early May.
4. Support & Resistance Zones:
Resistance Levels:
0.65380 (Major)
0.65003
Support Levels (Sequential Targets):
0.64647
0.64213
0.63957
0.63627
5. Confluence with Fundamentals:
U.S. economic events (highlighted at the bottom with calendar icons) may act as volatility triggers, potentially accelerating this move.
โ
Summary & Trading Implications:
Bias: Bearish below 0.65380
Trade Idea: Watch for rejection at resistance or break below 0.65003 for confirmation.
Bearish Targets: Gradual move toward 0.63627 with key pauses at intermediate support levels.
Invalidation: Daily close above 0.65380 would negate the bearish setup and open potential for new highs.
GBPJPY Strong rebound. Buy opportunity.The GBPJPY pair has been trading within an Ascending Triangle pattern. Today's geopolitics made the price form its latest Higher Low at the bottom of the pattern, which also coincided with a 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) test, and rebounded.
That was a clear buy signal on the 4H RSI Support that signaled the last three bottom buys. Our Target is the top of the pattern at 196.300.

USDJPY Strong support formed. Excellent buy opportunity.The USDJPY pair is trading within a Channel Down since the start of the year but following the April 22 Low, it has been rising on Higher Lows. Today that trend-line was tested and again produced a rebound (so far).
Since the April 22 Low was very close to the 139.600 Support (from the September 16 2024 Low), there are higher probabilities that we will have a trend change to bullish, at least for the medium-term.
The natural Resistance now is the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), so we will target just below it at 148.675 (Resistance 1).

EURGBP draws a false breakoutExit from consolidation provokes distribution and price growth by 1%, the daily ATR is exhausted. The currency pair is forming a false breakout of resistance. The retest of the zone of interest 0.8526 and price consolidation below the level may provoke distribution
Scenario: there is no potential for growth continuation beyond 0.8538. The distribution ends with a false break of resistance and price entry into the selling zone. Consolidation under 0.8526 will confirm the break of the structure, which may be the first step towards 0.8482 or 0.8458.

EUR/USD Long-Term Trade Idea (Bullish to Bearish Transition)The EUR/USD pair is expected to enter a bullish phase in the near term, potentially rising toward the key resistance zones between 1.18616 and 1.20143. These levels are likely to act as strong reversal points, where the pair could encounter significant selling pressure.
Once price reaches this zone, a bearish reversal is anticipated, aligning with broader technical signals and long-term resistance structures.
This setup presents an opportunity to ride the bullish momentum toward these levels, then potentially shift to a sell bias upon confirmation of rejection or reversal patterns within that zone.
โBuy the strength, sell the exhaustion โ let the market come to you.โ
