Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the H4, with prices having broken out of the ascending channel and reversing off the ichimoku indicator, we have a bearish bias that prices will rise and drop from the 1st resistance at 107.514 where the 61.8% fibonacci projection and 38.2% fibonacci retracement are to the 1st support at 105.653 where the pullback support is. Alternatively, prices could break 1st resistance and rise to 2nd resistance at 109.265 in line with swing high resistance.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 107.514
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 105.653

XAU/USD (GOLD):

On the H4, with price moving below the ichimoku cloud and in a descending trendline, we have a bearish bias that price will rise and drop from the 1st resistance at 1742.91 where the swing high resistance and 23.6% fibonacci retracement are to the 1st support at 1676.00 in line with the 100% fibonacci projection and swing low support on the daily timeframe. Take note of intermediate support at 1699.76 where the swing low support is. Alternatively, price could break 1st resistance on the upside and we would expect bullish momentum to carry prices to 2nd resistance at 1786.39 where the pullback resistance and 50% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st Resistance at 1742.91
  • H4 time frame, 1st Support at 1676.00

GBP/USD:

On the H4, with prices bouncing off the ichimoku indicator, RSI moving in an ascending trendline and price has broken out of the descending channel, we have a bullish bias that price will rise to the 1st resistance at 1.20469 where the 50% fibonacci retracement and swing high resistance are. Once there is upside confirmation that price has broken the 1st resistance, we would expect bullish momentum to carry prices to 2nd resistance at 1.21628 where the swing high resistance and 127.2% fibonacci extension are. Alternatively, price could drop to the 1st support at 1.19320 where the pullback support and 38.2% fibonacci retracement are.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 1st resistance at 1.20469
  • H4 1st support at 1.19320

Alternatively, price may not break 1st support and head for 1st resistance at 0.97340 where the 38.2% fibonacci retracement is. Take note that as the price is showing a “double top” pattern, the price may drop approximately the same height as the double top formation from the neckline.
