Technical Outlook and Review

USD/JPY:

On the H4 chart, price has reflected off the 2nd support at 140.363 and through 1st support at 142.574 where the 78.6% Fibonacci line is. Price could possibly continue this short term bullish move up towards the 1st resistance line where the 23.6% Fibonacci line lies.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 144.952
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 142.574

DXY:

On the H4, price is still respecting the bullish channel and we are bullish bias. Price has broken the previous high to test at the first resistance at 114.483 where the swing high sits. If bullish momentum continues, it could bring price toward the second resistance at 120.506 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively, it could pull back to test the first support at 112.571 where the 23.6% retracement sits then the second support at 110.855 where the 50% retracement and overlap support sits

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 114.483
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 112.571

EUR/USD:

On the H4, price is moving within the channel in a descending manner- we are bearish biased. Price has bounced off the first support and it looks like it’s moving to test the first resistance at 0.9709 where the 23.6% retracement and 145% extension sits. If price breaks this level, it will bring prices to the second resistance at 0.9907 where the 50% retracement and 100% projection sits. Alternatively it could continue with its bearish momentum to bring the price back down to 0.9576 where the previous swing low and 161.8% extension sits.

Areas of consideration :

  • H4 1st resistance at 0.9709
  • H4 1st support at 0.9576

GBP/USD:

On the daily time frame, prices are still moving in a bearish momentum hence we are bearish biassed. Price has already tested the previous swing low at 1.0337 where the 138.2% extension sits. If bearish momentum continues, it should bring price to 0.9665 where the 161.8% extension sits. Alternatively price could pull back to test the first resistance at 1.0560 where the 127.2% extension sits then the second resistance at 1.1409 where the previous swing low sits

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 1st resistance at 1.0675

On the H4, prices have broken the descending channel and we are currently bullish biased. Price has broken the first support and is moving toward the first resistance at 0.9863 where the 78.6% projection and previous swing high sits. If bullish momentum continues, it should bring price to the second resistance at 1.0020 where the swing high and 138.2% extension sits. Alternatively, price could pull back to test the first support at 0.9623 where the 61.8% retracement and overlapping resistance sits.
