Fed Uncertainty, Gold’s Climb & EUR/CAD’s Pullback Play

Markets remained cautious as traders digested mixed signals from Fed officials and escalating geopolitical tensions. With Trump’s attempt to dismiss Fed Governor Cook still reverberating, concerns over central bank independence kept safe-haven demand elevated. Gold surged toward a long-term resistance zone, while the dollar traded unevenly across majors.

Technically, XAU/USD is pressing against the $3,400 level, a key psychological and structural resistance that aligns with August highs and the R1 pivot. A breakout could open the path to $3,440 or fresh 2025 highs. Meanwhile, EUR/CAD is pulling back within its ascending channel, testing Fib levels and mid-channel support near 1.6030. Whether you’re trading breakouts or bounces, this issue highlights the zones where momentum may shift.
