USD/JPY:

Price is in a strong bullish trend on the H4 chart. In addition, the price is above the ichimoku cloud, indicating a bullish market. Price has been consolidating near 144.952, the 0% Fibonacci line, for the past week following the Bank of Japan’s intervention. Price is expected to break through the first resistance and move towards the second resistance at 147.411 where the 127.2% Fibonacci expansion extension line is located.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 144.952
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 143.474

DXY:

On the H4, price has broken the ichimoku and has pulled back slightly forming a double top- we are bearish bias. Price has rejected the first resistance and pulled back to test the first support at 110.919 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. Alternatively price could test the first resistance again at 114.719  levels where the previous swing high sits and if it breaks this level, price might test the second resistance at 117.045 where the 78.6% projection sits. 

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 114.719
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 110.919

EUR/USD:

On the H4, price is moving within the channel but in an ascending manner- we are slightly bullish biased. Price has bounced off the first support and is moving toward the first resistance at 0.990 where the 100% projection and 50% retracement sits. If price breaks this level, it will test the second resistance at 1.0201 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively, the overall bearish momentum could bring price back to test the first support at 0.9741 where the previous swing low and 38.2% retracement sits. If it breaks this level, we have a strong bearish confirmation to bring price down to 0.9550 where the 161.8% extension and swing low sits 

Areas of consideration :

  • H4 1st resistance at 0.9907
  • H4 1st support at 0.9741

On the H4 time frame, prices have bounced off the support level and are moving in an ascending manner, we are slightly bullish. Price is moving toward the first resistance at 1.1430 where the 78.6% retracement and overlap support sits. If it breaks this level, its bullish momentum will bring price to second resistance at 1.1734 where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively, price could pull back to test the first support at 1.0915 where the 38.2% retracement sits then the second support at 1.0355 where the previous swing low and 138.2% extension and 61.8% projection sits

If bullish momentum continues, it should bring price to the second resistance at 1.0046 where the 61.8% projection and previous swing high sits. Alternatively, price could pull back to test 0.9755 where the first support sits if it breaks this level, we have a bearish confirmation to bring price further down to the second support at 0.9626 where the key overlap support sits.

On the H4, price is showing a rejection of the 1st resistance of 1680, which is inline with the 50% and 38.2% fibonacci retracement level, swing low from July 2022 and within the bearish channel. With price in the ichimoku cloud, we have a neutral bias. However, price may trade lower towards the 1st support of 1615.85 with a risk level at 1640. Alternatively, price could break above the 1st resistance to trade higher towards the 2nd resistance of 1707 which is inline with the 50% and 78.6% fibonacci retracement level.

Alternatively, as the price is still below ichimoku cloud, the price may drop to the 1st support again at 0.63630, which is in line with the swing low, 161.8% fibonacci extension and 127.2% fibonacci projection.
