USD/CAD: Rebound toward 1.38 possible within broader downtrend – Societe Generale
Societe Generale’s technical team notes USD/CAD has found tentative support near 1.3480, forming a small base, but sees no clear evidence yet of a larger uptrend. A rebound toward the upper boundary of the descending channel and 200‑DMA around 1.3750/1.3800 is possible, though this is strong resistance, with failure there pointing to renewed downside toward 1.3340/1.3300.
Key resistance at 1.3750/1.3800 caps upside
"USD/CAD has found tentative support near 1.3480 in January, forming a small basing pattern."
"A brief rebound towards the upper boundary of the multi‑month descending channel and the 200‑DMA around 1.3750/1.3800 cannot be ruled out."
"However, this is an important resistance zone. Inability to break above this hurdle may lead to continuation of the downtrend. A break below 1.3480 could extend the decline toward the channel lower limit near 1.3340/1.3300."

From SpaceX to Anthropic, the market has new strategies for dealing with tech giants' IPOs
The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
