Technical Outlook and Review

USD/JPY:

On the H4 chart, price has pushed through very strongly through the 1st support at 142.574 where the 78.6% Fibonacci line lies. Price has tapped and looks to be consolidating below the 1st resistance at 144.952 where the 23.6% Fibonacci line lies. Looking for price to potential break through the 1st resistance and head towards the 2nd resistance at 147.070 where the -27.2% Fibonacci expansion line is. Alternatively, price could reflect back down from the 1st resistance back down towards the 1st support at 142.574 where the 78.6% Fibonacci line is.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 144.952

DXY:

On the H4, price is still respecting the bullish channel and we are bullish bias. Price is currently testing the first resistance at 114.582 where the previous swing high sits. If it breaks this level, there is a confirmation for strong bullish momentum and price might test the second resistance at 120.506 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively price could pull back to test the first support at 110.767 where the 50% retracement and 100% projection sits. If price breaks this support it should test the second support at 107.669 where the previous swing low sits

  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 110.767

Alternatively it might pull back to test the first resistance at 0.9692 where the 23.6% retracement and 145% extension sits, then the second resistance at 0.9907 where the 50% retracement and 100% projection sits.
