EUR/USD:
Looking at the weekly chart, we can see that prices are seeing further limited upside before it reaches our resistance area at 1.22000 – 1.22900. On the daily chart, price is holding above support at 1.21510 where we could possibly see some bullish pressure.
On the H4 timeframe, price is still facing bullish pressure. However price is currently holding between daily support at 1.21510 and weekly resistance at 1.22900. With no strong support or resistance nearby, we prefer to remain neutral and look for either a break above 1.22900 or a drop below 1.21510 for further directional bias.
Areas of consideration:
- 1.22900 resistance area found on H4 time frame
- 1.21510 support area found on H4 time frame
GBP/USD:
Looking at the weekly chart, we can see that prices are facing bullish pressure from our ascending trend line and support at 1.36622 where we could see a further upside above this level to our resistance target at 1.43000, in line with the 78.6% fibonacci extension. The daily time frame echoes the same bullish view as well where we could see a limited upside above our support level at 1.38000 with 1.43000 as our resistance target.
On the H4 timeframe, prices are facing bullish pressure from our support at 1.40801, in line with the 50% fibonacci retracement where we could see a further upside above this level with 1.42200 as our resistance level.

Areas of consideration:
- 1.42200 resistance area found on H4 time frame
- 1.40801 support area found on H4 timeframe

USD/CHF:
USD/CHF is now retesting the weekly 0.89800 support, in line with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement and 78.6% Fibonacci extension. The daily chart shows that price is now holding below the key daily 0.92300 support-turned-resistance, and has also broken below the ascending trendline support-turned-resistance. The weekly 0.89800 support level is a key level to watch.
On the H4 chart, we can see that price is now retesting the weekly 0.89800 support level, in line with 78.6% Fibonacci retracement and 61.8% Fibonacci extension. We also note that price is holding below the Ichimoku cloud resistance, showing bearish pressure in line with our analysis. In this scenario, a break and close below the key 0.89800 support would see price swing towards the next weekly 0.87600 support level. Otherwise, price could also pull back to retest the Ichimoku cloud resistance if the market was to enter a sideways movement.
Areas of consideration:
- The 0.89800 weekly support is a key intraday level to watch.
- Price is facing bearish pressure as it holds below the Ichimoku cloud resistance.
Dow Jones Industrial Average:
On the weekly chart, price traded sideways. With price holding above the long term moving average, we can expect further bullish pressure above 32765 support. On the daily chart, price pulled back lower and reacted above moving average and also above ascending trendline support. It is possible to see buyers add to their longs above 33800 support with upside target at 35970 resistance. Otherwise, price could also swing the other way towards 32180 support.
On the H4, price is still holding above 33800 support. We see a medium probability bullish scenario where buyers could add to their longs with a limited upside push above 33800 support towards 35090 resistance. Otherwise, failure to hold above 33800 should see prices swing the other way towards 32696.
Areas of consideration:
- Technical indicators across all timeframes confirm bullish momentum
XAU/USD (GOLD):
On the weekly timeframe, price pushed higher, closing above previous weekly resistance. We could see renewed bullish pressure this coming week. On the daily, price broke and closed above descending trendline resistance (now support). There is now a greater probability of a bullish scenario above 1850 support with much room towards 1965 resistance. Otherwise, a break below 1850 support will see price re-intergrate previous trend.
On the H4, price pushed higher and is now testing resistance at 1884. A break and close above 1884 resistance could see price push higher towards 1930 resistance next. However, we also note the divergence forming on H4. It is also possible to see sellers start adding to their shorts to push price lower towards 1845 support.
Areas of consideration:
- 1884 resistance level on the H4 time frame
- 1845 support level on the H4 time frame
- Divergence forming on H4
