Fundamental Analysis

* Political Uncertainties: USD/CAD regained some momentum during the early Asian session on Tuesday, driven by a stronger U.S. dollar. President-elect Donald Trump dismissed claims of scaling back his tariff plans, reiterating their wide-reaching scope and amplifying market volatility concerns ahead of his inauguration. Market participants remain wary of potential disruptions as further details of Trump’s policies unfold. Additionally, hawkish comments from Fed Governor Lisa Cook supported the dollar, as she highlighted the Fed’s cautious approach to further rate cuts, citing a strong economy and persistent inflation pressures. On the Canadian side, speculation is mounting about a possible resignation by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, with reports hinting at an announcement before Wednesday’s emergency Liberal Party meeting.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: USDCAD was traded higher following prior rebound from the support level 1.43250. MACD which illustrate bullish momentum signal with the formation of golden cross suggest the pair to likely extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards the level 1.44650. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 1.41900 after it breach back below the level 1.4325.

Potential Risks

Looking ahead, investors will closely monitor key U.S. economic data, which includes ADP Nonfarm Employment Change, and Nonfarm Payrolls, to assess market sentiment further.
