The Dollar Index (DXY) currently shows bullish momentum with potential for a bullish breakthrough of the first resistance, possibly rising to the second resistance. The first support level is at 103.50, serving as an overlap support. A second support level stands at 103.03, also recognized as an overlap support. On the resistance side, the first resistance level is at 104.19. This pullback resistance level aligns with both 61.80% and 78.60% Fibonacci retracements, a scenario known as Fibonacci confluence. Further, the second resistance level is at 105.08, serving as an overlap resistance and the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement level.

EUR/USD:

The EUR/USD pair is currently showing bearish momentum, with the price being below the bearish Ichimoku cloud contributing to this momentum. The price could potentially make a bearish break off the first support and drop towards the second support.

The first support is at 1.0694 and is deemed favorable due to it being an overlap support. The second support is at 1.0623 and is also an overlap support, making it a significant level to monitor.

On the flip side, the first resistance level is at 1.0747, acting as an overlap resistance. This might pose challenges to any potential upward price movement. Similarly, the second resistance is at 1.0793, which is another overlap resistance that could potentially prevent the price from rising further.

GBP/USD:

The GBP/USD pair is currently showing bearish momentum, with the price being below the bearish Ichimoku cloud contributing to this downward momentum. The price might potentially follow a bearish continuation towards the first support.

The first support is at 1.2376, which is an overlap support, a level significant in the market structure. The second support is at 1.2305 and acts as a swing low support, which could potentially attract buyers in the market.

In contrast, the first resistance level is at 1.2470. This level serves as a multi-swing high resistance and could potentially pose challenges to any potential upward price movement. Similarly, the second resistance is at 1.2536, which also serves as a multi-swing high resistance and might prevent the price from rising further.

Moreover, there’s an intermediate resistance level at 1.2425, representing another multi-swing high resistance, suggesting that it could act as a significant barrier to price increases.

USD/CHF:

The USD/CHF pair is currently demonstrating strong bullish momentum with high confidence. The price being above the bullish Ichimoku cloud and a significant ascending trendline suggests further bullish momentum could be anticipated.

The first level of support is at 0.9029. This point serves as an overlap support, which could potentially attract buyers into the market, preventing the price from falling further.

If the price breaks below this level, the second line of support is at 0.9005. This level is an overlap support and could serve as a strong buy zone to prevent the price from declining further.

On the upside, the first resistance level is at 0.9062, acting as a multi-swing high resistance. If the bullish momentum continues, and the price manages to break above this resistance, further upward movement could be expected.

The second resistance is located at 0.9097, serving as an overlap resistance. This resistance might be significant, as sellers previously found this level attractive enough to cause a price reversal.

USD/JPY:

The USD/JPY pair is currently demonstrating bullish momentum, with the price being above the bullish Ichimoku cloud indicating further bullish momentum could be anticipated.

In the short term, the price might drop further towards the first support level at 138.79. This point, serving as an overlap support, could attract buyers into the market, preventing the price from falling further and potentially instigating a bullish bounce.

If the price breaks below this level, the second line of support is at 137.71. This level is also an overlap support, and could serve as a strong buy zone to prevent the price from declining further.

On the upside, the first resistance level is at 140.89, acting as a pullback resistance. If the bullish momentum continues and the price manages to bounce off the support and break above this resistance, further upward movement could be expected.
