Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with prices moving above the ichimoku indicator and along the ascending trendline, we have a bullish bias that prices will rise to 1st resistance at 109.281 where the swing high resistance is. Once there is upside confirmation of price breaking 1st resistance, we would expect bullish momentum to carry price to 2nd resistance at 112.489 in line with 100% fibonacci projection and 100% fibonacci projection. Alternatively, price may drop to 1st support at 105.794 where the horizontal pullback support and 61.8% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 112.489
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 109.281
