The analyst cited data from Magic Mirror e-commerce, stating that Pop Marts online sales in August fell by 40% year-on-year, a further widening of the decline from Julys 21%. Pop Marts most important new product launches in the third quarter came from the "Starry Man" IP, which was also its fastest-growing series in the first half of the year. However, this IP is unlikely to completely offset the high base effect from the launches of Labubu 3.0 and Mini Labubu in the same period last year. Continued weak sales indicate that domestic demand remains under pressure, with no clear signs of stabilization, and little evidence that recent product launches are sufficient to reverse this trend.On September 11, it was reported that, to strengthen the source governance of portable power bank products, the State Administration for Market Regulation revised and released a new version of the "Implementation Rules for Compulsory Product Certification: Portable Power Banks, Lithium-ion Batteries, and Battery Packs" on May 25.

The USD/CAD pair retraced below 1.3450 in the early Asian session as the US Dollar Index (DXY) lost upside momentum after reaching the key resistance level of 102.00. As investors anticipate the release of the United States/Canada Employment data, the Canadian dollar is expected to deliver a dazzling performance.

 

As a consequence of a decline in Job Openings and sluggish additions of new positions, as measured by Automatic Data Processing, firms have slackened recruitment efforts, thereby alleviating the tight US labor market. (ADP). This has led to expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates unchanged at its May meeting.

 

In the interim, S&P500 futures have resumed their downward trend, indicating a cautious market sentiment.

 

Employment data will influence the Canadian Dollar. The consensus estimate for Net Change in Employment is 12K, which is a decrease from the previous release of 21.8K. The estimated unemployment rate is 5.1%, up from 5.0% previously.

 

The USD/CAD exchange rate is exhibiting an Inverted Flag pattern on an hourly time frame. The Inverted Flag is a trend-following pattern that consists of a protracted consolidation followed by a decline. Participants prefer to enter an auction after a bearish bias has been established, and current vendors increase their position size during the consolidation phase of a chart pattern.

 

The Canadian dollar was unable to maintain a position above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3458, indicating that further declines are imminent.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has an upper limit of 60.00. A violation of the unfavorable 20.00-40.00 range will trigger downward momentum.

 

A break below the low of April 04, 1.3406, would expose the asset to a fresh six-week low around 1.3350, the low of February 6 followed by round-number support at 1.3300.

 

In an alternative scenario, a move above the psychological resistance of 1.3500 would lend momentum to US Dollar supporters, propelling the asset toward the 31- and 29-March highs of 1.3559 and 1.3619, respectively.
