USD/JPY:

USDJPY is in a bullish trend on the H4 chart. To add to the confluence, the price is also above the ichimoku cloud, indicating that the market is bullish. Price reflected off the first support at 143.519, where the 38.2% Fibonacci line is located, overnight. Price is expected to move towards the first resistance level at 144.952, where the key 145 level 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 lower from the ichimoku cloud and is moving in a descending manner hence we are bearish bias. It has broken the resistance and is moving toward the first support at 109.334 where my swing low sits. If bearish momentum continues, it will bring price to my second support at 107.669 where my second support and previous swing low sits. Alternatively price could bounce back to test the first resistance at 111.672 where my 38.2% retracement sits then the second resistance at 114.719 where the 61.8% projection and previous swing high sits 

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 111.672
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 109.334

EUR/USD:

On the H4, price is moving within the descending trendline but in an ascending manner, with the price above ichimoku cloud- we are slightly bullish biased. Price has bounced off the first support and is moving toward the first resistance at 1.00473 where the 78.6% projection sits. If price breaks this level, it will test the second resistance at 1.0194, where the previous swing high sits. Alternatively, the overall bearish momentum could bring price back to test the first support at 0.9870 where the previous swing low and 50% retracement sits. If it breaks this level, we have a strong bearish confirmation to bring price down to 0.9750 where the swing low and 61.8% projection 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 138.2% extension sits
