USDCAD is off lows, but remains toward the weaker end of the recent range. The pair has cleared key support at 1.4261, the Jan 20 low. This strengthens a bearish theme and signals scope for an extension of the current bear cycle - a correction. Scope is seen for a move towards 1.4107, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance to watch is 1.4380, the Feb 10 high. A move above this hurdle would highlight an early bullish reversal signal.

A bear cycle in Silver that started Oct 23 remains in play - for now - and recent gains appear corrective. However, the metal traded higher last week suggesting scope for a continuation near-term. An extension would expose key resistance at $32.338, the Dec 12 high. Clearance of this level would signal a reversal. On the downside, support to watch is $29.509, the Jan 13 low, and $29.748, the Dec 19 low and the bear trigger.

USDCAD price action remains volatile this week. A sharp sell-off Monday resulted in a print below support at 1.4280, the Jan 6 low. The pullback was short-lived and Tuesday’s reversal higher delivered a fresh trend high of 1.4516, before reversing lower. The uptrend remains intact - for now - and a resumption of gains would open 1.4539, a Fibonacci projection. 1.4233, the 50-day EMA, marks key support.
