    USDCAD setting up a new push higher?

     

    This week so far has definitely been about the USD. Price has seen solid gains so far, with the index adding 0.98% and hitting a new weekly high of 99.65.To get more news about fusion markets, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

    Inflation worries in the US, followed by aggressive comments from the Fed regarding rate increases to combat soaring inflation, have been the key driver. US inflation hit40-yearadjustment to try and get it under control. Inflation is now a widespread issue, with Europe, Britain and Australia feeling the pinch.

    Today we are focusing on the USDCAD as a higher USD, and weaker oil prices continue to support buying. The price broke out of its mini range yesterday, and buyers have followed up on the break with new weekly highs today. Today's move also confirms the breakout. Price started its move from a solid-looking foundation after forming a range off a well-established support area.

    Looking forward, if this is a true move higher, we would like to see if buyers can get the price back up to 1.2626. This area is a previous low and could develop into resistance. What we don't want to see is a new move by sellers pushing price back into the range or back down to support. This could become a failure break and set up new downward pressure.

    Today we're looking at AUDUSD after the price failed once again to hold above .75 cents. The newest rejection also lines up with key resistance that also continues to hold buyers at bay.

    Price failed at 75 cents for a fifth time today, reinforcing the current supply area. Above this area, we also have key resistance at 7540-7540. This level has been in play since July 2021, and for now, it is proving to be a significant sticking point blocking buyer's momentum. Today, sellers so far hold control, and the AUD has led the losses out of the three primary risk majors, dropping 0.50% to today's low.

    Price, for now, is setting up a new consolidation pattern with support seen at 7465. This is the area sellers need to break to get a new leg going. A move through this level could set up a new pushback into areas between support and the main trend line retracement point of view, with the idea buyers will look at regaining control. It's the next move that matters as if they can't reach/break supply and resistance. This could be early signs a more significant shift in momentum is developing.

    Traders will be watching tomorrow's US employment data as this could impact the USD and, in turn, impact the AUDUSD. The data is due Friday at 11:30 pm AEDT.
