Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4 timeframe, prices are on bearish momentum and abiding to our bearish trendline. We would expect further bearish continuation to test our 1st support at 95.518 in line with 100% Fibonacci extension and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement. Breaking our 1st support may find prices dipping further towards our 2nd support at 95.368 in line with 127.2% Fibonacci extension and 100% Fibonacci extension. Our bearish bias is further supported by prices trading below ichimoku clouds and RSI forecasting bearish momentum. Alternatively, prices may bounce towards our 1st resistance at 95.849 in line with 50% Fibonacci extension.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 95.849
