Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with prices moving below the ichimoku indicator, we have a bearish bias that prices will drop to the 1st support at 105.642 in line with overlap support, 61.8% fibonacci projection and 61.8% fibonacci retracement. Take note of intermediate support at 106.410 where the overlap support is. Once there is downside confirmation of price breaking 1st support structure, we would expect bearish momentum to carry price to 2nd support at 103.475 in line with swing low support. Alternatively, price could rise to 1st resistance at 107.514 where the pullback resistance and 50% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

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

Alternatively, price could break 1st resistance and rise to 2nd resistance at 1786.59 where the 50% fibonacci retracement, 161.8% fibonacci extension and pullback resistance are.
