Market Analysis
GBP/USD midweek: cable holding 1.3390 as traders remain split, 2026-06-08
Sterling trades up 59 pips from Monday's open at 1.3394, with positioning near perfectly balanced at Wednesday's close.
2 min leesUSD/CAD closed Wednesday at 1.3942, down 24 pips from Monday's open at 1.3945. The pair has ranged between 1.3919 and 1.3969 through the first three sessions, keeping price action contained within a 50-pip band.
The dollar has stayed supported against the loonie despite broader weakness in other pairs. Tuesday's session saw the most movement with a 1.3919 low, but buyers stepped in to defend that level. Headlines about the PBOC setting its daily fix helped maintain general dollar support across the board.
The calendar shows no high-impact Canadian or US data releases for Thursday or Friday. Without scheduled catalysts, USD/CAD will likely track broader dollar flows and any shifts in commodity markets. If crude oil rallies Thursday, the loonie could test 1.3920 support. If dollar strength persists, 1.3970 resistance comes back into focus.
Traders are nearly evenly split with 50.9% holding long positions and 49.1% short as of Wednesday morning. This balanced positioning suggests the market lacks conviction about direction, waiting for clearer signals before committing to either side.
The 1.3940 area has acted as a pivot through Wednesday's session. If price holds above this level into Thursday, the week's high at 1.3969 becomes the next test. A break below 1.3940 puts Tuesday's 1.3919 low back in play, with 1.3900 as the obvious psychological level below.
