Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with prices moving within the ascending channel and bouncing off the stochastic support, we have a bullish bias that prices will rise to the 1st resistance at 107.514 where the 38.2% fibonacci retracement and pullback resistance are. Once there is upside confirmation of price breaking the 1st resistance structure, we would expect bullish momentum to carry price to 2nd resistance at 109.265 where the swing high resistance and 61.8% fibonacci projection are. Alternatively, prices could drop to 1st support at 105.642 in line with overlap support and 61.8% fibonacci retracement.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 107.514
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 105.642

XAU/USD (GOLD):

On the H4, with price moving below the ichimoku cloud and in a descending trendline, we have a bearish bias that price will rise and drop from the 1st resistance at 1699.76 where the pullback support is to the 1st support at 1676.00 in line with the 100% fibonacci projection and swing low support on the daily timeframe. Alternatively, price could break 1st resistance structure on the upside and we would expect bullish momentum to carry prices to 2nd resistance at 1742.91 where the swing high resistance is.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st Resistance at 1699.76
  • H4 time frame, 1st Support at 1676.00

GBP/USD:

On the H4, with prices bouncing off the ichimoku indicator, RSI moving in an ascending trendline and price has broken out of the descending channel, we have a bullish bias that price will rise to the 1st resistance at 1.20469 where the swing high resistance is. Once there is upside confirmation that price has broken the 1st resistance, we would expect bullish momentum to carry prices to 2nd resistance at 1.21628 where the swing high resistance, 61.8% fibonacci retracement and 127.2% fibonacci extension are. Alternatively, price could drop to the 1st support at 1.19320 where the pullback support and 38.2% fibonacci retracement are. Should price break 1st support, we would have a bearish bias that price will drop to 2nd support at 1.17599 in line with swing low support and 100% fibonacci projection.
