EURUSD continues to trade above last week’s low. Recent weakness appears corrective and key trend signals highlight an uptrend. Note that a key support at the 50-day EMA, at 1.1094, remains intact. A clean break of this average would undermine the uptrend. A key resistance to watch is 1.1381, the May 2 - 6 high. Clearance of this level would signal the end of the correction and highlight a bullish break.

USDCAD maintains a firmer short-term tone for now. Despite the latest move higher, the trend condition remains bearish and recent strength is considered corrective. A fresh cycle low on May 6 reinforces the bearish theme. A resumption of weakness would open 1.3744, a Fibonacci retracement. Note that moving average studies are in a bear mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend. Key resistance is seen at 1.4026, the 50-day EMA.

The trend condition in AUDUSD is unchanged, it remains bullish and recent weakness is considered corrective. The May 13 rally signals the end of the corrective pullback and attention is on key resistance at 0.6515, the May 7 high. Note that moving average studies remain in a bull-mode position, highlighting an uptrend. A resumption of the trend would open 0.6550, a Fibonacci retracement. Key support to monitor is 0.6354, the 50-day EMA.
