Silver is holding on to its recent gains. Despite a recovery in price, the bear cycle that started Oct 23 remains in play and gains are considered corrective - for now. Price has recently traded through a trendline drawn from the Aug 8 low. A resumption of the bear leg would open $28.446, a Fibonacci retracement. The 50-day EMA, at  $31.209, has been pierced. A continuation higher would expose $33.125, the Nov 1 high.

Bullish conditions in Silver remain intact and the bear cycle that started on Oct 23 is considered corrective - for now. The metal has breached the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The breach of the 50-day average signals scope for a deeper retracement towards $30.269, a trendline support. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on $34.903, the Oct 23 high and bull trigger.

USDCAD last week recovered from the Nov 6 low and the pair is trading closer to its recent highs. The trend outlook is unchanged, it remains bullish. Attention is on the key resistance at 1.3946, the Aug 5 high. This hurdle has been pierced, a clear break of it would strengthen the uptrend and open 1.3977, the Oct 13 high and a key medium-term resistance point. Initial firm support to watch lies at 1.3843, the 20-day EMA.

A bear cycle in AUDUSD remains intact and recent gains appear to have been a correction. Last Wednesday’s sell-off resulted in a breach of 0.6537, the Oct 30 low and bear trigger, highlighting a resumption of the downtrend. Sights are on 0.6490, a Fibonacci retracement point. Firm resistance is at 0.6680, the 50-day EMA (pierced). A clear break of it would highlight a possible reversal.
