Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with prices breaking out of the descending channel and expected to bounce off the stochastic support, we have a bullish bias that prices will drop and rise from the 1st support at 106.225 where the swing low support is to the 1st resistance at 107.543 where the pullback resistance and 50% fibonacci retracement are. Alternatively, price could break 1st support structure and head to 2nd support at 105.642 where the overlap support, 61.8% fibonacci retracement and 61.8% fibonacci projection are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 107.543

Once there is upside confirmation of price breaking 1st resistance structure, we would expect bullish momentum to carry price to 2nd resistance at 1787.78 in line with pullback resistance and 61.8% fibonacci retracement.
