USD/CAD: Bearish Loonie SlideUSD/CAD: Bearish Loonie Slide Amid #Fed Cut Hype and #Forex Volatility Buzz? 1.39 Breakout Target in Sight?
USD/CAD is trading at 1.3795 today, up 0.17% amid a rebound from 1.3728 lows as markets eye the Fed's rate decision later, with 65% odds of a 50bps cut to 4.00-4.25% pressuring the dollar but offset by BoC's own easing signals.
This follows a 0.25% CAD gain earlier in the week on CPI data, but the pair remains range-bound with analysts forecasting a bearish tilt to 1.35 by year-end if Fed cuts deepen.
Just as #Fed surges with 15K mentions on X amid rate speculation, and #Forex trends spotlight policy divergence (e.g., BoC vs. Fed easing), USD/CAD's sensitivity to oil and CAD vulnerability position it for choppy action in the $1.8T daily forex market.
But with volatility at 3.88%, is USD/CAD undervalued for a bull run to 1.39, or will dovish Fed trigger a CAD rebound? Let's break down the fundamentals, SWOT, charts, and setups for September 18, 2025.
Fundamental Analysis
USD/CAD's trajectory hinges on diverging central bank paths, with the BoC's recent cuts weakening the loonie while Fed easing caps USD upside—yet oil prices above $70/bbl support CAD via Canada's export reliance.
Analysts project a 2025 average of 1.35, bearish on CAD amid #Fed cuts, but short-term resistance at 1.3800 could hold if US data softens. With #Forex volatility buzzing, the pair's undervaluation shines in a risk-on environment if Fed delivers 50bps, but sticky US inflation (2.6% core) risks a hawkish pivot.
- **Positive:**
- BoC easing and CAD vulnerability amid #Forex hype project USD strength to 1.3863 if Fed holds steady.
- Oil tailwinds and EM inflows (e.g., SA bonds) bolster CAD floors, undervaluing the pair at current levels vs. 1.40 peaks.
- Broader #Fed trends favor USD if dot plot signals fewer cuts, eyeing 0.5% monthly gains.
- **Negative:**
- Dovish Fed expectations weaken USD, clashing with #Fed optimism if 50bps cut confirms CAD rebound.
- Canada CPI resilience (2.0% YoY) could strengthen CAD if BoC pauses, pressuring the pair lower.
SWOT Analysis
**Strengths:** Policy divergence favors USD with Fed's relative hawkishness vs. BoC, amplified by #Fed relevance in dollar sentiment.
**Weaknesses:** High oil correlation exposes CAD upside; overbought momentum vulnerable in #Forex-shifting markets post-Fed.
**Opportunities:** Fed cut confirmation narrows spreads, with undervalued bull potential to 1.3891 amid #Fed boom.
**Threats:** Hawkish BoC surprises eroding gains; competition from AUD/CAD if commodity trends capitalize on #Forex volatility.
Technical Analysis
On the daily chart, USD/CAD rebounds in an ascending channel from 1.3728 support, with a pivot at 1.3800 mirroring #Fed volatility spikes. The weekly shows neutral bias with 1.3889 as key breakout. Current price: 1.3795, with VWAP at 1.3770 as intraday balance.
Key indicators:
- **RSI (14-day):** At 55, neutral—potential bull signal amid #Fed surge. 📈
- **MACD:** Histogram positive, crossover holding for upside.
- **Moving Averages:** Price above 21-day EMA (1.3750) but testing 50-day SMA (1.3820)—bullish if holds.
Support/Resistance: Support at 1.3728 (recent low), resistance at 1.3863 and 1.3891. Patterns/Momentum: Channel bounce targets 1.3863; fueled by #Forex momentum. 🟢 Bullish signals: Higher lows on volume. 🔴 Bearish risks: Failure at 1.3800 eyes 1.36.
Scenarios and Risk Management
- **Bullish Scenario:** Break above 1.3863 on hawkish Fed targets 1.3891; long on pullbacks to 1.3728, especially if #Fed signals fewer cuts.
- **Bearish Scenario:** Drop below 1.3728 eyes 1.3538; watch for CAD cross amid #Forex fade on dovish pivot.
- **Neutral/Goldilocks:** Range-bound 1.3728–1.3863 if dot plot mixed and #Fed cools.
Risk Tips: Use stops at 1.3700. Risk 1-2% per trade. Diversify to avoid correlation traps with #Fed-linked pairs like EUR/USD.
Conclusion/Outlook
Overall, a bullish bias if USD/CAD holds 1.3728, supercharged by today's #Fed and #Forex trends, with 0.7% upside to 1.39 on policy divergence. But watch the Fed outcome for confirmation—this fits September's rate volatility theme amid easing hype.
What’s your take? Bullish on USD/CAD amid #Fed cuts or fading the loonie? Share in the comments!

XAUUSD: Bounce from 3615 Support LevelHello everyone, here is my breakdown of the current Gold setup.
Market Analysis
From a broader perspective, after a strong run-up within a prior Upward Channel, the price action for Gold has transitioned into a horizontal consolidation Range. This shift from a trending to a ranging market indicates a period of balance as buyers and sellers digest the previous impulsive move.
Currently, the price is in a corrective phase within this Range. After recently failing to break above the Resistance Zone, sellers have pushed the price down, and it is now approaching the major horizontal support at the bottom of the consolidation, near the Support 1 level.
My Scenario & Strategy
I think that this Range structure will continue to hold for now. The lower boundary, which aligns with Support 1 at 3615, is a significant area of historical support. This Support zone represents a high-probability area for buyers to step in and defend, just as they have in the past.
My scenario is that Gold will complete its drop to the lower part of the consolidation, testing the Support 1 level. Therefore, I expect that a successful defense of this support will lead to a rally back across the Range. My target for this move is 3700, which is placed within the major Resistance Zone at the top of the consolidation.
That's the setup I'm tracking. Thank you for your attention, and always manage your risk.

Gold slightly rebounds trying to get back the bullish action OANDA:XAUUSD the bulls struggling to stop the price bearish movement
Now that will depend on the stability of the support 2,605.00
if this support prevents the negative price movement, then it more likely to try to pass the previous top @ 2,721.00 to target then 2,790.00
But if the price breaks done 2,605.00 then it may target lower supports starting 2,540.00

ONE ANALYSIS ON GOLD YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!!GOLD TRADE ANALYSIS FOR 26/02/2024

Or it could break down to come for liquidity at exactly from 2030.79
Between 2030.79 and 2043 should be safe range to trade on Monday.

bitcoin is not looking good right now !!btc is forming bearish pennant on 4 hours timeframe. which isn't bullish continuation indication. it's looking very bad.
withing few hours PPI (producer price index) report will be published around 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time)
I am hoping for bullish news if we do get the bearish news. we will see significant drop in bitcoin price.
if you are holding bitcoin in spot you don't have to worry. but future traders have to be aware of price action and what bitcoin is doing.
don't fomo or panic. things will get better. i will be updating this idea time to time.
if we do break upside we will see massive pump to 19k if downside we will see 13-14k :)
Q3(3RD QUARTER) ANALYSIS FOR GOLD, BULLISH BEFORE BEARISH Hey guys.
I'm Martin Sylvester😅😅😅😅
Everything Charts.
I want to engage you a little.
If your chart is open.
You could use horizontal lines on the higher Timeframe like D1.
Something is really really nice there and I spotted it. I may be wrong but it's so sweet and I'll like to share it.
$2000 price
$1900 price
$1800 price
$1700 price
Each with 1000pips separation but really aligns to price movements on Gold.
I'm more of a round up number person when it comes to dissecting a chart.
So Gold found itself at $1800 and just spiked to $1790.
When Gold got to $2000, it spiked to a midpoint $2050 but $2000 is the main main part, it went down to $1900, patterned it's movement back to $2000, dragged down to $1800
From all indications, history repeats itself😅😅😅😅😅
We are likely to see a move to $1900 or $1950 cos for Gold to spike to $2050 but main price point is $2000, history will repeat itself from past data that it will get to $1900 and may possibly spike to $1950/$1960.
Then drop down as before...
When it spiked to $2050/$2060, what happened???
It dropped to $1900, made a Retracement to $2000 and dropped to $1800.
So let's see it this way..
Rally to $1900, spike to $1950/$1960, then a drop to $1700.
That's like 2000pips plus repeated on historical data of the charts..
Cos $2050/$2000 to $1800 is 2500pips move...
So if there's a Retracement to $1950/$1900, it will be another 2500pips move if we were to look at how data collides with algorithm and repeats itself.
2500pips decline from $1950/$1900 would be at exactly $1700 as predicted earlier.
Trade with caution but these are just speculations, I may be wrong (as I'll always say).
I'm open to corrections(as I'll always say).
If you can take your time to mark these price points, it will help with trades for Gold(XAUUSD).
Lest I forget, there are in-between reaction price points too that I know of that moves in 200pips difference.
Lemme list them starting from top to bottom
$2070
$2050(midpoint for $2000 and $3000)
$2030
$2010
$1990
$1970
$1950(midpoint for $1900 and $2000)
$1930
$1910
$1890
$1870
$1850(midpoint $1800 and $1900)
$1830
$1810
$1790
$1770
$1750(midpoint for $1700 and $1800)
$1730
$1710
$1690
$1670
$1650 (midpoint for $1600 or $1700)

BTC IS DECIDING! OR TRYING TO DO SOMETHINGAfter rejected from yesterdays pivot point, it was on the road to 42K this what we see on the 1H timeframe chart, may be a consoladition. However, if we look at shorter timeframe like 5minute timeframe we see yesterday price was rejected from S1 and came to retest todays pivot. Like i draw on the 1H chart we have an upward trendline. if it breaks we expect to fall another trendline. We expect bounce up and come back to retest pivot in the 5minute chart.
for now, in all charts we see a litte consolidation. our support is 48200 is being very strong but our Major support is 47500! if price goes down from 48200 expect 47500 and testing pivot line on the 5 minute chart. After 47500 highly chance we'll see 42K.
Price is going up and down between 48200 and 48600 this range is called consolidation range. upward momentum and break will take us to R1(Resistance1) but downward momentum will take us to S1.
CONCLUSION:
PIVOT 50800
R1:60600
S1:42000
Minor Resistance:48600-700 49500!
Minor Support:48200 47500!
Falling from 47500 is critical you can open short its your decision. upward move from 49500 probably will lead to 54K-52K!
its all from my experience!!! do your own research and analysis. these are just an idea. do not trade because of my words!
WTIOIL WITH 8:1 REWARD TO RISK Daily chart in an uptrend making higher highs and higher lows. 4hr chart has been working within the channel and weekly pullback looking for the market to resume the trend. If we see a double bottom we could look for a break and retest of structure to take this market higher.
