  • SUP 4: 5842.50 Low Jan 14

S&P E-Minis have traded higher this week. The recovery undermines a recent bearish threat and attention turns to the next resistance at 6162.25, the Jan 24 high. Clearance of this level would expose key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 ‘24 high. A move above this hurdle would resume the primary uptrend. On the downside, initial key support has been defined at 6014.00, the Feb 10 low. A break would be viewed as a bearish development.

  • SUP 4: 1.4011 Low Dec 5

The trend set-up in USDCAD remains bullish and short-term weakness is considered corrective. The latest pause in the uptrend still appears to be a flag formation - a bullish continuation signal. Note too that MA studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Sights are on 1.4508 next, a Fibonacci projection level. 1.4348, the 20-day EMA, has recently been pierced. A clear break of the average would open 1.4203, the 50-day EMA.
