Overview

On January 30, 2025, the EUR/CAD pair traded around 1.5031, down from a high of 1.5064 in the previous session. The decline was largely due to the ECB's decision to cut interest rates by another 25 basis points to 2.75%, marking the fourth consecutive cut in response to the economic slowdown in the eurozone. ECB President Christine Lagarde highlighted the "headwinds" facing the economy, including weak manufacturing, fragile consumer confidence and potential impacts from global trade tensions.

Meanwhile, the BoC decided to keep its key interest rate unchanged at 4.50%, reflecting the stability of Canada's monetary policy. This decision reinforced the strength of the CAD against the EUR, especially in the context of rising oil prices - one of Canada's main exports.

Market psychology

Currently, market sentiment shows concern about the economic outlook of the eurozone, especially after the ECB continued to cut interest rates. This has weakened the EUR against the CAD. In addition, stability in Canada's monetary policy and rising oil prices have also supported the CAD.

Recent trading data shows that large investors are adjusting positions, reducing EUR holdings and increasing CAD investments, reflecting concerns about the economic outlook of the eurozone and confidence in the stability of the Canadian economy.

Technical analysis

On the chart, EUR/CAD has broken the important support level at 1.5050 and is now heading towards the next support level at 1.4950. The RSI is at 45, indicating that the downtrend is still dominant but has not entered the oversold zone.

The Stoch indicator has crossed below the signal line, reinforcing the sell signal. The Bollinger Bands are expanding, indicating that price volatility may increase in the near term. If the price continues to fall and breaks the support level of 1.4950, the downtrend may be confirmed more strongly.
