Thursday 02 September 2021: Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

Looking at the Weekly chart price may bearish towards the 1st support at 91.8 in line with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and 38.2% Fibonacci extension. Otherwise, price may be bullish towards the 1st resistance at 94.742 in line with 127.2% Fibonacci extension and Horizontal swing high.

On the Daily timeframe, price is below the 1st resistance at 93.829 in line with Horizontal swing high and 50% Fibonacci extension and may bearish towards the 1st support at 91.8 in line with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and 38.2% Fibonacci extension. Our bearish bias is further supported by how stochastic is testing resistance where price dropped in the past. Otherwise, price may bullish towards the 1st resistance at 93.829 in line with Horizontal swing high and 50% Fibonacci extension.

On the H4 timeframe, price is below the descending trendline resistance and may bearish towards the 1st support at 91.8 in line with weekly support and 127.2% Fibonacci extension. Our bearish bias is further supported by how MACD is shown to be holding below the 0 line. Otherwise, price may bullish towards the 1st resistance at 92.789 in line with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and 23.6% Fibonacci extension.

Areas of consideration:

  • H4 time frame, 1st resistance of 92.789
  • H4 time frame, 1st support of 91.8

XAU/USD (GOLD):

On the weekly timeframe, price have bounced off 2st support at 1676.90 and is approaching 1st resistance at 1856.85. Long term buyers could possibly add to their positions here and push price higher towards graphical resistance at 1856.85 level. Otherwise, a break above our first resistance will see price push higher towards our 2nd resistance at 1916.62.

On the Daily, price has moved higher and is holding close to 1st resistance at 1833.95. We see a medium probability bearish scenario where sellers may enter with their shorts and look for a possible target at the 1st support level of 1775.74. Stochastics are reacting below short term intermediate resistance as well. Otherwise, breaking above 1st resistance will see price push towards 2nd resistance at 1916.62.

On the H4, price drifted sideways and is holding between 1st resistance at 1832.44 and 1st support at 1801.43. With technical indicators giving mixed signals and no clear levels of entry that provides good risk to reward ratio, we prefer to remain neutral for now.

Areas of consideration:

  • Weekly 1st support and daily 2nd support at 1676.90
  • Long term 2nd resistance at 1916.62

EUR/USD:

On the Daily chart, price rebounded to resistance at 1.18155, in-line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, 78.6% Fibonacci extension and 50MA. Price could potentially face bearish pressure and drop. RSI is also coming into descending trendline resistance for bearish pressure.

On the H4 timeframe prices swung towards resistance at 1.18550, in-line with 78.6% Fibonacci retracement and 127.2% Fibonacci extension. There might be limited upside to first resistance at 1.18635, in-line with 127.2% and 200% Fibonacci extension. Stochastic is also at resistance level where previous drops occurred resulting in limited upside. If the price bounces higher, it could potentially swing towards next resistance at 1.19000, in-line with 100% Fibonacci retracement and 161.8% Fibonacci extension.

If the price drops, it could potentially pull-back to first support at 1.18085, in-line with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, 61.8% Fibonacci extension and ascending trendline support. The next potential support could be at 1.17830, in-line with 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and 61.8% Fibonacci extension.
