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 – 1.22800. On the daily chart, it echoes the same bullish view as well, where prices are facing bullish pressure from our support level at 1.2000, in line with the 23.6% fibonacci retracement where we might see more upside above this level.

Failure to hold above 1.20077 support could see price swing lower towards the 1.19578 area.

- 22000 resistance area found on H4 time frame
- 20077 support area found on H4 time frame

The daily chart shows that price is now holding below the key daily 0.92300 support-turned-resistance. We could potentially see further downside from here towards the next daily 0.89800 support level.
On the H4 chart, we can see that price is now holding below both the Ichimoku cloud and the descending trendline resistance, showing bearish pressure in line with our bearish bias.

Otherwise, should price break above the daily 0.92300 level and descending trendline resistance, it could swing towards 0.93802 resistance instead.

Dow Jones Industrial Average:
On the weekly chart, price is holding below key 34600 resistance. With price deviating so far from the moving average, we may expect to see some mean reversion in the Dow soon. Sellers may add to their shorts below 34600 resistance with a possible long term downside target at 31190 support. Otherwise a weekly break and close above 34600 resistance will see price swing higher. On the Daily, price is capped below 34600 weekly resistance as well facing bearish pressure. Traders should be cautious about any form of selling as technical indicators remain bullish.
On the H4, price is drifting sideways and holding above 33740 support. We see a low probability bullish scenario where buyers may consider adding to their longs above 33740 support. However with technical indicators giving a mixed signal and divergence still noted on the H4, any long positions should be taken with caution.
Areas of consideration:
- Watch closely 33740 intraday support
XAU/USD (GOLD):
On the weekly timeframe, gold is testing and holding below descending trendline resistance and long term moving average resistance at 1785. A weekly close below this resistance could see price pull back lower towards 1687 support. On the Daily timeframe, price is also testing the resistance zone at 1805. A short term drop towards support at 1730 could be likely. Otherwise, failure to hold below 1805 resistance could see price swing higher towards 1855 resistance next.
On the H4, price drifted sideways and is currently testing support at 1777 level. With price holding above moving average and MACD showing room for further bullish momentum, we see a low conviction bullish scenario with price possibly pushing towards the 1805 level. However we would caution traders about the divergence that is forming on the H4 as well.
Areas of consideration:
- Bearish divergence forming on H4
- 1777 support is the intraday support level to watch
