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 and 61.8% fibonacci retracement. Once there is downside confirmation of price breaking 1st support structure, we would expect bearish momentum to carry price to 2nd support at 103.554 in line with swing low support. Alternatively, price could rise to 1st resistance at 107.543 where the pullback resistance and 50% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 107.543
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 105.642

XAU/USD (GOLD):

On the H4, with price moving within a descending channel and RSI moving in a descending trendline, we have a bearish bias that price will drop from 1st resistance at 1724.44 where the pullback resistance is to 1st support at 1679.28 in line with 100% fibonacci projection and swing low support on the daily timeframe. Alternatively, price could break 1st resistance and rise to 2nd resistance at 1739.61 where the 38.2% fibonacci retracement and swing high resistance are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st Resistance at 1724.44

Alternatively, price could break 1st support and drop to 2nd support at 1.19320 where the pullback support is.
