US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSISPrices moved upward as expected after producing a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 61.8% Fibonacci expansion at 11985 exposes the 76.4% level at 12044. Alternatively, a turn below the 50% Fib at 11937 clears the way for a test of the 38.2% level at 11888.

From here, a break above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 2076.00 exposes the 50% level at 2086.30. Alternatively, a move below the 23.6% Fib at 2063.40 targets the 14.6% expansion at 2055.60.

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices continue to consolidate in familiar territory after probing the lowest level in four months. A daily close below the 61.8% Fibonacci expansion at 1162.64 exposes the 76.4% level at 1152.47. Alternatively, a move above the 50% Fib at 1170.86 targets the 38.2% expansion at 1179.07.

CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices accelerated downward, issuing the largest daily decline in over seven months.
