Tuesday 04th October 2022: Technical Outlook and Review

USD/JPY:

On the H4 chart, price is in a strong bullish trend. Furthermore, the price is above the ichimoku cloud, indicating that the market is bullish. Price broke through the 145 level overnight but failed to maintain the bullish momentum, closing below the 145 level. Price is expected to consolidate further around the first resistance level at 144.791, which is also the 145 key level and the 0% Fibonacci line.

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 trades at the 1st support of 111.74 which is inline with the 100% fibonacci extension level leading to a bearish bias. If price breaks this support it could trade lower to test the 2nd support of 110.48 which is in line with the 61.80% fibonacci retracement level and the previous swing low from September 2022. 

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance at 114.69
  • H4 time frame, 1st support at 111.77
  • H4 time frame, 2nd support 110.48

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 0.98796 where the 100% projection and 50% retracement sits. If price breaks this level, it will test the second resistance at 1.00545, where the 78.6% fibonacci retracement sits. Alternatively, the overall bearish momentum could bring price back to test the first support at 0.97418 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 0.95506 where the swing low sits 

Areas of consideration :

  • H4 1st resistance at 0.98796
  • H4 1st support at 0.97418

GBP/USD:

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 1.14529, where the 78.6% retracement and overlap resistance sits. If it breaks this level, its bullish momentum will bring price to second resistance at 1.17506 where the previous swing high and overlap resistance sit. Alternatively, price could pull back to test the first support at 1.10949, where the 23.6% retracement sits.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 1st resistance at 1.14529
  • H4 1st support at 1.10949

Price then proceeded to maintain its strong bullish momentum, breaking through the first support at 0.98720. Given the strong bullish momentum, price is expected to continue moving towards the first resistance level at 0.99853, where the 127.2% Fibonacci extension line is located.

On the H4, price is broke above the channel and the resistance turned support level of 1680.56, which is inline with the 38.2% fibonacci retracement level and swing low from July 2022. With price above the ichimoku cloud, we have a bullish bias that price could trade higher to the 1st resistance of 1734.27, which is in line with the 61.80% fibonacci retracement level. However, price may retrace towards the 1st support of 1680.56 first before trading higher with a risk level at 1707.41, which is the 50% fibonacci retracement level.
