Monday 7th Aug 2023: Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

The DXY (US Dollar Index) is currently demonstrating a bearish momentum on the chart, which is driven by its position below a major descending trend line, indicating a potential continuation of the bearish movement.

Considering the prevailing bearish momentum, the price has the potential to further decline, potentially reaching the first support level at 99.77. This support level gains significance as it corresponds to a multi-swing low, making it an essential level to watch.

An intermediate support is also in place at 101.16, supported by its role as a pullback support, which could potentially provide some temporary relief during the downward movement.

On the other side, the market faces resistance levels that may hinder any significant upward movement. The first resistance level stands at 102.53 and holds importance due to its identification as a swing high resistance point.

Furthermore, a 2nd resistance level is observed at 103.64, which gains strength from its status as an overlap resistance level.

EUR/USD:

The EUR/USD currency pair is currently experiencing a bullish momentum, as indicated by its position above a rising trendline, suggesting the potential for upward movement in the price.

In the short term, there might be a pullback, and the first support level to watch is at 1.0950. This support level is significant due to its “Fibonacci confluence,” which means that multiple Fibonacci levels converge at this point, reinforcing its strength as a potential support level. 

Upon recovery from the pullback, the price may target the intermediate resistance at 1.1063. This resistance level is characterized by “overlap protection,” indicating the presence of historical price levels or technical indicators clustering at this point, making it an important barrier to further price advances.

The first resistance level at 1.1231 is another key level to watch, known for its “high multi-swing resistance.” This level has acted as a strong barrier to price movement during various bullish swings in the past, making it a significant reference point for potential profit-taking or consolidation signals.

EUR/JPY:

The EUR/JPY chart is currently showing a bullish momentum, and this is attributed to the fact that the price is positioned above the bullish Ichimoku cloud, which indicates positive sentiment.

There is a potential for a bullish continuation towards the first resistance level. The first support at 155.25 is considered strong due to its overlap support. Additionally, the 2nd support at 151.78 is reinforced by being a pullback support and coinciding with the 50% Fibonacci Retracement level, making it an important level of interest.

On the resistance side, the first level at 157.97 is significant as it represents a multi-swing high resistance, indicating potential selling pressure at that level. The 2nd resistance at 161.37 is also noteworthy, being an overlap resistance, suggesting potential obstacles to further price movement beyond this point.

On the support side, there are two crucial levels to watch. The first support level is at 1.2671, and it holds significance as it aligns with both the “38.20% Fibonacci retracement” and the “61.80% Fibonacci projection.” This convergence of Fibonacci levels reinforces the strength of this support level

The 2nd support level is at 1.2315 and is characterized by both “low swing support” and a “61.80% Fibonacci retracement.” This level has previously provided support during bullish swings, making it a key area to watch for potential price reactions.
