USD/JPY
From the weekly timeframe, prices are bullish and are pushing up towards facing resistance from horizontal swing high resistance level 114.465 which coincides with 127.2% Fibonacci retracement. On the daily time frame, prices are holding nicely above the 21 period EMA. Prices have broken through the previous resistance level of 110.978 and are now pushing up towards the weekly level of 114.665,in line with 100% Fibonacci extension. A pullback from that level could mean prices would take support on 108.425 level.
On the H4 timeframe, prices are showing the same picture. Prices have broken through the previous swing high which is daily/weekly resistance level of 110.978. Next short term target is 112.148 level in line with 161.8% Fibonacci extension before the 114.665 level on the daily and weekly timeframe. However, prices might have a short term pullback towards the 109.786 level which is in line with ascending trendline support, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and 100% Fibonacci extension. 55 Period EMA is also below prices, showing a bullish pressure for prices.
Areas of consideration:
- 148 resistance level on the H4 timeframe might be next upside target
- 786 support level on the H4 timeframe
USD/CAD:
On the Weekly timeframe, price is within a long term descending trend. Holding below long term moving average and MACD indicator is below 0, showing strong bearish momentum. Price is currently holding between long term resistance at 1.25470 and long term support at 1.20068. On the Daily timeframe, we see that the indicators are showing a build up in bullish momentum. It is possible to see further bullish pressure above support at 1.21772 with possible upside target at weekly resistance 1.25470. Otherwise, failure to hold above 1.21772 will see price swing to graphical low at 1.20068.
On the H4, price pushed higher and is currently testing 1.23407 resistance below which we see price facing bearish pressure. A short term intraday drop towards our daily support at 1.21772 could be possible. Otherwise, failure to hold below 1.23407 will see price retrace towards next resistance at 1.24031. MACD on the H4 is now below 0, showing a build up of short term bearish momentum.
Areas of consideration:
- Long term bearish momentum on the weekly is in line with short term intraday bearish momentum on H4
- Daily support at 1.21772 is key level to watch
USD/CHF:
USD/CHF has shown a strong bounce from the weekly 0.89500 support, in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and 78.6% Fibonacci extension. The daily chart shows that price is now testing the key daily 0.92300 support-turned-resistance and ascending trendline support-turned-resistance. We could potentially see further downside below the 0.92300 resistance.
On the H4 chart, we can see that price is now pulling back to retest the 0.92300 resistance level, in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. The 0.92300 resistance level is a key intraday level to watch. In this scenario, we could see price face further downside towards 0.90500 support, in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, 161.8% Fibonacci extension and horizontal pullback resistance. However, should price break and close above the 0.92300 resistance, we could see price push higher to test the subsequent weekly resistances.
Areas of consideration:
- The 0.92300 resistance is a key intraday level to watch.
- We could see price drop towards the next 0.90500 support level.
Dow Jones Industrial Average:
On the weekly chart, prices bounced higher above 32765 support, as inflation fears subsided. With price holding 32765 support, we might see bullish pressure above this level. On the daily chart, price bounced above the weekly support at 32765 and is currently holding between resistance at 15090 and support at 32765. With stochastic still reacting above support, we see price facing further bullish pressure.
On the H4, price tested and pulled below near term resistance at 34472. With stochastic reacting below resistance where price pulled back in the past, we see a possibility where sellers may add to their shorts on pullbacks with a downside target at 33475 support. Otherwise, failure to hold below 34472 should see the price swing the other way towards daily resistance at 35090.
Areas of consideration:
- Weekly key level at 32765 support is of key interest
- 34472 near term resistance on H4
XAU/USD (GOLD):
On the weekly timeframe, price tested and reacted above key trendline pullback support at 1764. On the daily, price tested and reacted above 1764 weekly support. While 1764 support looks fragile, as long as we do not have a daily close below this support, we may see price bounce towards 1855 resistance. Otherwise, breaking below 1764 support, price could drop lower towards 1677 support next.
On the H4, the picture is still unchanged with price trading sideways within a range and is holding above 1764 support. We still see a low probability bullish scenario where buyers could add to their longs above 1764 weekly support with a possible upside target at 1808 resistance. Otherwise, failure to hold above 1764 weekly support will see price drop much lower towards next support at 1724. Stochastic is reacting above support where price bounced in the past.
Areas of consideration:
- 1764 support is the key level to watch.
- 1808 resistance on H4 to watch.
