Friday 15th October : Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

On the weekly, prices have been consolidating in a parallel channel. Prices have the potential to experience a pullback from our 1st resistance at 94.742 in line in with our  channel, 127.2% and 38.6% Fibonacci retracement towards our 1st support at 92.090 in line with 23.6%, 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. Technical indicators are showing bearish momentum.

On the daily, prices have recently tested our 1st resistance at 94.650 in line with 127.2% Fibonacci extension and are likely to dip further towards our 1st support at 93.437 in line with 38.2%, 61.8% and 127.2% Fibonacci extension. Stochastics are at a level where dips have previously occurred. Breaking our 1st support might find prices dipping towards our 2nd support at 93.437.

On the H4 timeframe, prices have recently tested our 1st support at 93.721 which is a graphical overlap and is testing our intermediate resistance at 94.081. We would expect a high probability of prices to be attracted to our 1st resistance which is an area of Fibonacci confluences and daily resistance. Technical indicators are showing bullish momentum. Alternatively, prices might dip further towards our ascending trendline and 1st support at 93.721 in line with 100% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame,1st support at 93.721
  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 94.633
  • H4 time frame intermediate resistance at 94.081

XAU/USD (GOLD):

On the weekly, prices are consolidating in a triangle. We see the potential of a bounce towards our intermediate resistance at 1830.21 in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. Breaking through it would find prices going higher towards our 1st resistance at 1923.98 in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. However, as indicators are showing mixed signals, we would remain neutral for now.

On the daily, we see the possibility of prices pushing higher if it surpasses our intermediate support at 1794.34 in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement towards our 1st resistance at 1832.15 in line with 100% Fibonacci extension. Technical indicators are showing bullish momentum.

On the H4 chart, prices appear to be consolidating in a parallel channel. Prices have recently tested the top of our parallel channel and we would expect a drop from our 1st resistance at 1804.70 in line with 161.8%, 127.2 Fibonacci extension and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement towards our 1st support at 1778.06 in line with 61.8%, 78.6% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Stochastics are at a level where dips previously happened. Alternatively, we would watch our Intermediate support at 1787.46 which is a graphical overlap.

Areas of consideration:

  • 4h 1st support at 1778.06
  • 4h intermediate support at 1787.46

EUR/USD:

On the weekly timeframe , price is heading towards the first support level of 1.14505 which is also Fibonacci retracement level of 50% and Fibonacci projection level of 127%.  Price can potentially bounce from the first support level to our first resistance level of 1.18967 which is our Fibonacci retracement level of 50%. Alternatively if price were to break our first support, it will continue to dip to the 2nd support level. Our bullish bias is supported by our stochastic indicator.

 

On the daily timeframe , price is currently trading near our first resistance level which is also Fibonacci retracement level 23.6%. Price can potentially fail to break the 1st resistance level and dip to its weekly support level of 1.14552. Our bearish bias is further supported by the ichimoku cloud indicator as price is trading below it.

On the 4 hour timeframe, price has recently reached near  our first resistance level of 1.16319 and can potentially dip back to our first support level of 1.15273 which is also Fibonacci projection level of 78.6%. Our bearish bias is further supported by our ichimoku cloud indicator as price is trading under it.

Key considerations :

H4 first resistance – 1.16319

H4 first support – 1.15273

USD/CHF:

On the weekly, price is holding above ascending trendline support however, it is also at the descending trendline resistance, price might reverse back down and drop towards the ascending trendline support as there is also a strong Ichimoku cloud that might prevent the breakthrough of the resistance. Price is also between 1st resistance at 0.95124 and 1st support at 0.90262. Traders should watch these levels closely for a break to see prices swing higher or drop lower. On the Daily, price is seen to have a short-term bearish momentum approaching the ascending trendline support. We can expect the price to move towards the 1st support at 0.92314 in line with 100% Fibonacci Projection. With stochastics breaking out of the ascending trendline support (now resistance).

On the H4, price is seen to have broken past the ascending trendline support, signifying a bearish momentum. In reference to yesterday’s analysis, price did move to our targeting 1st Support ( 0.92028) from the 1st Resistance (0.92617). Price bounced at the 1st Support and broke past an intermediate resistance, we can expect price to continue to push to 1st Resistance and drop back down to the 1st Support in line with 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.

Areas of consideration:

  • Watch 1st Support at 0.92028
  • Watch 1st Resistance at 0.92617

Alternatively if price were to break our first support level, it can potentially dip to the 2nd support level which is also Fibonacci retracement of 50% and projection of 61.8%. Our bullish bias is supported by the Ichimoku cloud indicator as the price is trading above it.

On the daily timeframe,  we can see that price is near our 1st resistance level which is also 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Price can potentially react from the first level resistance level and dip to our first support of 1.35093. Our bearish bias is supported by the Ichimoku cloud indicator as price is trading below it.

On the 4hr time frame, price had recently reacted from our first resistance and is dipping to our first support of 1.35764 which is also 50% Fibonacci retracement.

Our short-term bearish momentum is further supported by the stochastic %K line holding below the descending trendline resistance and bearish divergence spotted.

On the Weekly timeframe, price tested and reacted below long term moving average and the ichimoku cloud in line with both 38.2% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.29882. As long as the price is holding below this level, we could potentially see the price facing further bearish pressure in the long term or at least to 1st support at 1.2029.

On the Daily, price gone below our moving average and may continue a bearish momentum to 1st support at 1.22887 in line with the 127% Fibonacci extension Otherwise, price may push higher towards 1st resistance at 1.24902 in line with the 100% Fibonacci projection level before heading down to 1st support.

Otherwise it may head to 1st support first at 76.47 before heading to 1st resistance where the last swing high turned support is at.

Dow Jones Industrial Average:

On the Weekly, price has been trading sideways between our 1st resistance at 37770 and 1st support at 35610.57. As there are no good risk reward levels, we prefer to remain neutral at this current juncture.

On the Daily chart, similar to the weekly, price is now trading between 1st resistance at 35067 which is a horizontal overlap resistance and 1st support at 33849 in line with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. With technical indicators showing room for further bullish momentum, a limited rise towards 1st resistance could be likely.

On the H4, with a bullish bias, as price has already broken our intermediary resistance at 1st resistance at 34997 which is the last horizontal swing high resistance, we expect price to make a continuation to 1st resistance at 345212 in line with the 127.2% and 78.6% Fibonacci projection. Otherwise, we may see price head back down to 1st support at 34652 in line with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
