A bull cycle in USDCAD remains in play and Friday’s initial gains reinforce this condition. The pair has pierced an important resistance and congestion at 1.3614, the Mar 19, 22, 25 and 29 high. A clear break of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend that started late December last year. 1.3623, 61.8% of the Nov 1 - Dec 27 bear leg, has also been tested, a break would open 1.3661, the Nov 27 ‘23 high. 1.3478 is first support, the Apr 4 low.

The rally this week in AUDUSD has resulted in a break of resistance around the 50-day EMA. This potentially confirms the recent bout of weakness between Mar 8 - Apr 1 as corrective in nature. A continuation higher would open 0.6635, the Mar 21 high. For bears, a reversal lower and a break of support at 0.6478, the Mar 5 low, would instead reinstate a bearish theme. This would open the bear trigger at 0.6443, the Feb 13 low.
