During the Asian session on Wednesday, the USD/CAD pair rebounded after two days of losses, reaching around 1.3590. This uptick is fueled by a stronger US dollar and lower crude oil prices, which put pressure on the Canadian dollar.

What Are USD Perspectives For The Upcoming Week?
2023-10-16 • Updated
Let’s take a look at the prospective direction for the US Dollar and a few majors this week. Despite the general sentiment of most analysts being in favor of a continued bullish momentum on the dollar, I have reason to believe that this may not be the case - not yet, at least.
US DOLLAR - D1 Timeframe
Are you familiar with the head-and-shoulder pattern? It is a classic reversal pattern, and is currently being presented on the daily timeframe of the US Dollar. At the moment, price seems to be reacting to the pressure from the supply zone at the head of the pattern, which serves as even further confirmation for the bearish sentiment.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bearish
Target: 105.378
Invalidation: 106.836
EURUSD - D1 Timeframe
Based on correlation analysis we know that a weaker Dollar is good for the Euro, and vice versa; since in this case we expect the US Dollar to go weaker, EURUSD should be bullish. From the technical analysis, we see another head-and-shoulder pattern with a bullish reaction from the demand zone.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 1.06448
Invalidation: 1.04590
GBPUSD - D1 Timeframe
Similar to the current pattern on EURUSD, we see the same inverted head-and-shoulder pattern here on the daily timeframe of GBPUSD as well. The demand zone will serve as a valid point of entry for a buy trade as I expect prices to climb higher.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 1.23106
Invalidation: 1.20662
