Trend signals in Silver are bullish and the latest sharp pullback is considered corrective. Note that the trend condition is overbought and a deeper retracement would allow this condition to unwind. Support at the 20-day EMA, at $49.053, has been pierced. A clear break of the EMA would signal scope for a corrective pullback towards the 50-day EMA, at $45.142. Key resistance has been defined at $54.480, the Oct 17 high.

USDCAD TECHS: Remains Above Support For Now

Sep-22 07:07
  • RES 4: 1.4019 38.2% retracement of the Feb 3 - Jun 16 bear leg 
  • RES 3: 1.3925 High Aug 22 and the bull trigger
  • RES 2: 1.3890 High Sep 11
  • RES 1: 1.3848 High Sep 15 
  • PRICE: 1.3800 @ 08:07 BST Sep 22
  • SUP 1: 1.3727 Low Aug 29 and a bear trigger  
  • SUP 2: 1.3709 61.8% retracement of the Jul 23 - Aug 22 bull cycle
  • SUP 3: 1.3658 76.4% retracement of the Jul 23 - Aug 22 bull cycle 
  • SUP 4: 1.3637 Low Jul 25  

A sharp sell-off in USDCAD early last week resulted in a break of the 20-and-50-day EMAs. This undermines a recent bullish theme and exposes key short-term support at 1.3727, the Aug 27 low. A clear break of this level would strengthen a bearish threat and signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, resistance levels to watch are; 1.3890, the Sep 11 high, and 1.3925, the Aug 22 high and bull trigger.
