Trend signals in Silver remain bullish. The pullback off the late July highs is considered corrective - particularly as prices have recovered off support at the 50-day EMA, now at $37.038. A clear break of it is needed to strengthen a short-term bearish threat and allow for a deeper retracement. This would open $35.285, the Jun 24 low. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on the next objective at $39.655 a Fibonacci projection.

A bull cycle in Gold remains intact and this is highlighted by moving average studies that remain in a bull-mode position. This sideways trend that has been in place since the Apr peak appears to be a corrective phase. A resumption of gains would open $3439.0, the Aug 23 high. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at $3500.1, the Apr 22 low. On the downside, first support to watch lies at $3268.2, the Jul 30 low.

USDCAD remains subdued, despite the recent shallow recovery. Attention is on support around the 20-day EMA, at 1.3758. A clear break of this EMA would resume the correction off the early August high at 1.3879. This would expose 1.3576, the Jul 23 low. Key medium-term support and the bear trigger lies at 1.3540, the Jun 16 low. For bulls, a break of 1.3879, the Aug 1 high, would cancel a bear threat and resume the recent bull cycle.
