On the Weekly timeframe, price is moving below the ichimoku cloud and the moving average. As long as the price is holding below this level, we are expecting to see a bearish drop from 1st resistance at 1.23427 in line with the graphical horizontal resistance to 1st support at 1.23427 in line with the graphical swing low support.  Alternatively, we may see price 1st resistance structure and head for 2nd resistance at 1.33505 in line with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Do take note that there is an intermediary resistance at 1.25977in line with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and price may just from here there instead.

On the Daily, with price testing the resistance of the stochastics indicator and the ichimoku cloud at 1.26906 in line with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, we are expecting to see price head to our 1st support at 1.25217 in line with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and graphical overlap support and possibly to our 2nd support at 1.24378 in line with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.  Alternatively, price may break 1st resistance and head for 2nd resistance at 1.28294 in line with the graphical swing high resistance.

OIL:

On Weekly timeframe, with price moving above the ichimoku, we are likely to see price rise to 1st resistance at 86.26 in line with the 127.2% Fibonacci retracement and possibly to 2nd resistance at 96.36 in line with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level from 1st support at 81.08. Otherwise, price may break 1st support and make its way to 2nd support at 77.77 in line with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.

On the Daily timeframe, as price is holding above the ichimoku cloud, we are likely to see price move further up to the 1st resistance at 86.26 in line with 127.2% and 161.8% Fibonacci extension and possibly even to 2nd resistance at 96.36 in line with the Fibonacci projection level from 1st support at 79.3 in line with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.

Dow Jones Industrial Average:

On the Weekly timeframe, price is approaching our resistance on the stochastics indicators and our graphical horizontal level at 36629 in line with the 161.8% Fibonacci projection.

On the Daily, with price moving above the ichimoku cloud, we are expecting to see price do a bounce from 1st support at 35492 in line with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement to 1st resistance at 36452 in line with the horizontal swing high resistance. Alternatively, price may break 1st support and head to 2nd support at 34928 in line with the horizontal overlap support.

On the H4, with price testing the support on the stochastics indicator, rejecting the graphical horizontal overlap support at 1st support at 35805 in line with the -27.2%Fibonacci expansion, we are biased that price will rise from 1st support  to 1st resistance at 36069  in line with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and horizontal overlap resistance and possibly to 2nd resistance at 36293 in line with the graphical swing high resistance. Alternatively, we may see price break 1st support and head for 2nd support at 35539  in line with graphical swing low support and 61.8% Fibonacci projection.
