SILVER TECHS: Tests Support Around The 50-Day EMA

Feb-27 08:10
  • RES 4: $35.736 - 1.236 proj of the Feb 14 - Apr 12 - May 2 ‘24 swing 
  • RES 3: $34.903 - High Oct 23 and the bull trigger
  • RES 2: $34.000 - Round number resistance  
  • RES 1: $33.450 - 76.4% of the Oct 23 - Dec 19 ‘24 bear leg                                
  • PRICE: $31.743 @ 08:10 GMT Feb 27   
  • SUP 1: $31.290 - Low Feb 25         
  • SUP 2: $30.691/29.704 - Low Feb 3 / Low Jan 27 
  • SUP 3: $28.748 - Low Dec 19 and bear trigger
  • SUP 4: $28.446 - 76.4% retracement of the Aug 8 - Oct 23 bull cycle 

Silver traded sharply lower Tuesday and in the process breached the 20-day EMA and pierced $31.414, the 50-day EMA. The move down - for now - appears corrective, however, a clear break of the 50-day average, would signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would open $30.691, the Feb 3 low. On the upside, the short-term bull trigger has been defined at $33.397, the Feb 14 high. Clearance of this level would resume the uptrend.

  • SUP 3: 1.4120 Low Dec 11 
  • SUP 4: 1.4011 Low Dec 5

USDCAD is trading inside a range. Recent price action highlights resistance at 1.4516, the Jan 21 low, and support at 1.4261, the Jan 20 low. Both levels represent important short-term directional triggers. The trend condition is bullish and a clear breach of 1.4516 would confirm a resumption of the bull cycle. For bears, a move through 1.4261 and 1.4253, the 50-day EMA, would instead highlight a possible reversal.

AUDUSD TECHS: Resistance At The 50-Day EMA Holds Firm

  • RES 3: 0.6429 High Dec 12

  • SUP 3: 0.6100 Round number support
  • SUP 4: 0.6045 1.500 proj of the Sep 30 - Nov 6 - 7 price swing

A medium-term bearish trend condition in AUDUSD remains intact and recent gains have stalled at resistance around the 50-day EMA, at 0.6325. The reversal lower suggests the possible end of the correction between Jan 13 - 24. A continuation lower would open 0.6131, the Jan 13 low and the bear trigger. On the upside, a clear breach of the 50-day average is required to signal scope for a stronger recovery.
