On the H4 timeframe, prices are facing bullish pressure from our support level at 1.21910. Technical indicators are still showing room for further bullish momentum as well. We still see further upside above this level, with 1.22900 as our next resistance target. Failure to hold above the 1.21910 support could see a swing towards our next support target at 1.21510

USD/CHF:
USD/CHF is now testing 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 has pushed lower again, and is now retesting the 0.89800 support, in line with 78.6% Fibonacci retracement and 61.8% Fibonacci extension. We also note that price is holding below the descending trendline resistance and Ichimoku cloud resistance, showing bearish pressure in line with our analysis. In this scenario, a break and close below the 0.89800 support area could see price swing towards the next weekly support at 0.87600. Otherwise, we could see price pullback again to retest the descending trendline and Ichimoku cloud resistance.
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 and descending trendline resistance.
- A break and close below the 0.89800 weekly support could see price swing towards the next 0.87600 support.
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, prices traded sideways and still holding above moving average 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, surpassing previous resistances. While technical indicators show room for further bullish momentum, we do not see any good levels which offer a reasonable risk to reward ratio. We continue to watch 1884 resistance and 1845 support. A break and close above or below these levels will see price push in that direction. We also note the divergence forming on H4
Areas of consideration:
- 1884 resistance level on the H4 time frame
- 1845 support level on the H4 time frame
- Divergence forming on H4
