GBP/USD is also moving higher as traders focus on the general weakness of the American currency.

In case GBP/USD stays above the 1.2200 level, it will gain additional upside momentum and head towards the next resistance at 1.2370 – 1.2410.

USD/CAD

USD/CAD 231023 4h Chart

USD/CAD is moving lower despite the strong sell-off in the oil markets. Other commodity-related currencies are also gaining ground in today’s trading session.

If USD/CAD settles below 1.3675, it will head towards the support level at 1.3500 – 1.3520.

USD/JPY

USD/JPY remains stuck below the key 150.00 level. Bulls worry that BoJ will intervene in case USD/JPY moves above 150.00.

At the same time, the yen is fundamentally weak, so USD/JPY lacks downside catalysts. At some point, the current balance will break, and USD/JPY will have a good chance to gain momentum.
