Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with prices reversing off 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 from the 1st resistance at 107.543 where the pullback resistance and 50% fibonacci retracement are. Alternatively, price could break 1st resistance and rise to 2nd resistance at 109.291 where the swing high resistance and 61.8% fibonacci projection 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 along 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:

GBP/USD:

On the H4, with prices moving within an ascending channel and above the ichimoku indicator, we have a bullish bias that price will rise to the 1st resistance at 1.20566 where the pullback resistance is. Once there is upside confirmation of price breaking 1st resistance, we would expect bullish momentum to carry price to 2nd resistance at 1.21594 where the pullback resistance, 127.2% fibonacci extension and 61.8% fibonacci retracement are. Alternatively, price could drop to 1st support at 1.19320 where the pullback support and 50% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 1st resistance at 1.20566
  • H4 1st support at 1.19320

Alternatively, price may break 1st resistance and head for 2nd resistance at 0.97332 where the 50% fibonacci retracement is.

USD/JPY:

On the H4, with price broken out of the ascending trendline and moving below the ichimoku indicator, we have a bearish bias that price will drop to our 1st support at 136.723 where the overlap support is. Once there is downside confirmation of price breaking 1st support, we would expect bearish momentum to carry price to the 2nd support at 134.781 where the swing low support, 161.8% fibonacci extension and 61.8% fibonacci retracement are. Alternatively, price could head for 1st resistance at 137.792 where the pullback resistance and 61.8% fibonacci retracement are.

If price breaks the intermediary resistance at 0.62708 at the swing high in line with the 61.8% fibonacci retracement and 100% fibonacci projection, we will have upside confirmation that price will rise to the 1st resistance at 0.63269 at the swing high in line with the 78.6% fibonacci retracement. Alternatively, price may break the support structure at the 1st support and drop to the 2nd support at 0.61354 at the pullback support.

Alternatively, as the price is almost at the upper bound of the channel, the price may rise to 2nd resistance at 108.527, which is in line with overlap resistance. Take note the breakout point of 107.324 could be our intermediate resistance, which dropped after breaking the descending channel.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance of 106.178
