Cooling CAD, Gold’s Triangle & Market Hesitation

Markets opened the week on a cautious note. Monday’s recap showed equities drifting, gold holding near $3,980, and Bitcoin steady around $100K. Traders are waiting for fresh catalysts, with CPI and central bank signals still in focus.

Canada’s October inflation cooled more than expected, pushing CAD lower and firming expectations that the Bank of Canada will pause into year-end. The softer print underscores slowing momentum in the Canadian economy, leaving the currency vulnerable to further downside if growth data disappoints.

Meanwhile, gold (XAU/USD) is back at a critical triangle support zone near $3,950. Price action has been compressing since early November, and this test could decide whether bulls defend the structure or bears break it down. A bounce may target $4,050, while a breakdown could open $3,850.

The theme? When inflation cools and price compresses, patience defines the edge.
