Last week’s rally in USDCAD cancels a recent bearish theme and instead strengthens a bullish outlook. The pair has breached a key resistance at 1.3925, the May 20 high and bull trigger. The breach confirms a resumption of the bull cycle that started Jun 16. This paves the way for a climb towards 1.4019, a Fibonacci retracement point. On the downside, first key support lies at 1.3800, the 50-day EMA.

The AUDUSD uptrend remains intact and the latest pullback is considered corrective - for now. However, the pair has breached support at the 50-day EMA, at 0.6551. A clear break of this average signals scope for a deeper retracement and exposes 0.6527 (pierced), a Fibonacci retracement. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on 0.6707, the Sep 17 high. Initial firm resistance to watch is 0.6628, the Sep 24 high.
