USDCAD Up Ahead of Canada’s Manufacturing Sales

8:00 AM EST: USDCAD Up Ahead of Canada’s Manufacturing Sales

USD/CAD Daily: Heading up inside Ichimoku Cloud above 23% Fibonacci

Technical Analysis

After failing to break below the 38% Fibonacci level at 1.1990 back in May, the pair rallied back up reaching our key resistance level of 1.25. Currently failing to break below the Ichimoku cloud with a bullish sentiment, we could see more up moves back to 1.25 and 1.27 in extension.

Economic Points

US Fed Rate Decision

Focus in the US this week is going to be squarely on the Federal Reserve rate decision on Wednesday. There almost certainly won’t be a rate hike, but the market thinks that there will be strong signals that a rate hike is on the cards this year – something that the IMF and World Bank have both urged against. The Economist’s cover story this weekend was on the risks of a global recession and the US raising rates is one area that could make that a reality, if it’s not managed properly.

Canada’s Factory Sales

Expected to fall to -1.3% comparing to last month’s 2.9%. A worse than expected release could weaken Mr. Canadian Dollar which in return would push the Ms. USA up against him.

The manufacturing (factory) sales index a leading indicator of economic health – manufacturers are quickly affected by market conditions, and changes in their sales can be an early signal of future activity such as spending, hiring, and investment.

Trading idea

Bullish above 23% Fibonacci targeting 1.25

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.
