- USD/CAD traded near 1.3574 after the U.S. dollar fell against the Canadian dollar on Thursday.
- The pair remained between the wider 1.35 support area and 1.3750 resistance zone.
- Falling U.S. 10-year yields pressured the dollar and kept USD/CAD inside a consolidation range.
USD/CAD stayed under pressure as falling U.S. yields weakened the dollar against the Canadian dollar. The pair traded near 1.3574 on the 15-minute chart, while the daily setup kept prices between the wider 1.35 support zone and 1.3750 resistance area.
The currency move also placed Bitcoin demand in Canada back in focus. As liquidity conditions improve, traders are watching whether regulated access through products such as Purpose Investments’ spot Bitcoin ETFs can support quieter institutional accumulation.
Dollar Weakness Caps USD/CAD
USD/CAD fell quickly on Thursday as the U.S. 10-year yield pulled back from an extended move higher. According to DailyForex, the pair continued to show rangebound conditions, with 1.35 acting as support and 1.3750 acting as resistance.
The daily chart showed USD/CAD below its 50-day EMA near 1.3736 and below its 200-day EMA near 1.3800. That position kept the pair under short-term pressure, even though the price remained above the lower end of the broader consolidation zone.

However, the 15-minute chart showed a small rebound from the 1.3550 area toward 1.3574. Volume also increased during the bounce, showing that short-term traders reacted after the pair tested lower intraday levels.
The interest-rate gap between the U.S. and Canada has narrowed, reducing the strength of a pure yield-driven trade. Meanwhile, crude oil remains relevant for the Canadian dollar because Canada is a major energy exporter.
Bitcoin Enters Canada Focus
The USD/CAD move matters for Bitcoin because a softer dollar can improve liquidity conditions across risk assets. When U.S. yields fall, the pressure on speculative markets often eases, allowing traders to reassess Bitcoin exposure through regulated channels.
Canada already has spot Bitcoin ETF access through Purpose Investments. The Purpose Bitcoin ETF directly holds Bitcoin, offers regulated exposure, trades through brokerage accounts, and removes the need for investors to use digital wallets or self-custody.
Notably, Purpose describes the fund as the world’s first spot Bitcoin ETF and says it is physically settled and held in cold storage. Its structure gives retail and institutional investors a familiar market wrapper for Bitcoin access in Canada.
That access may become more important if dollar weakness continues. Additionally, Canadian investors can track Bitcoin through listed ETF units while USD/CAD remains locked between lower support and upper resistance.
Liquidity Holds Key Signal
USD/CAD’s range still gives markets a clear framework. A break below 1.35 would point to broader U.S. dollar weakness, while a move above 1.3750 would require stronger U.S. yields and renewed dollar demand.
Nevertheless, the current setup keeps the pair in consolidation. The daily chart shows price under the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, while the intraday chart shows buyers defending the mid-1.35 area after the recent decline.

For Bitcoin, the key signal sits beneath the currency chart. Softer yields can support liquidity, and regulated Canadian ETF access can convert that liquidity into demand for spot Bitcoin without requiring direct crypto custody.
Purpose’s 2026 brochure says its Bitcoin ETF was designed to help retail and institutional investors access Bitcoin and trade it on the Toronto Stock Exchange. That keeps Canada central to Bitcoin market access as FX pressure reshapes dollar flows.
