The post USD/CAD Forecast: Holding near 1.3800 as strong supply zone caps gains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The USD/CAD pair extends its sideways consolidative price move for the second straight day on Tuesday and holds steady near the 1.3800 mark through the first half of the European session. Mixed signals over a potential US-Iran peace deal revive demand for the safe-haven US Dollar (USD), acting as a tailwind for the currency pair.

EUR/CAD extends its winning streak for the fourth consecutive day, trading around 1.6080 during the European hours on Monday.
