Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with RSI moving along an ascending trendline and prices moving along the ascending trendline, we have a bullish bias that bullish momentum will carry prices to 1st resistance at 105.794 where the swing high resistance and 161.8% fibonacci extension are. Once we have upside confirmation, we would expect bullish momentum to carry prices to 2nd resistance at 107.265 in line with 161.8% fibonacci extension, 78.6% fibonacci projection and 78.6% fibonacci projection. Alternatively, price may drop to 1st support at 103.401 where the horizontal swing low support and 50% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 105.794
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 103.401

On the H4, with prices moving below the ichimoku indicator and along a descending trendline, we have a bearish bias that prices will drop to our 1st support at 1805.45 where the horizontal overlap support and 38.2% fibonacci retracement.
