US DOLLAR INDEX – Prices remain just above support at 82.11, the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the 4/12-6/7 upswing. Positive RSI divergence hints that a rebound may materialize from here, with initial resistance at the 61.8% Fib level (83.37). Alternatively, continued selling sees support just above the 80.00 figure.

CRUDE OIL – Prices marked time today after yesterday’s downswing following a test of resistance at $79.38, the June swing top, but the bearish implications of current positioning have been little changed. Continued selling targets the bottom of a rising channel established since May near the $75 figure.

GOLD – Prices stalled at support marked by the bottom of a near-term falling channel established from the swing high in June after taking out support at a rising trend line set from the low in early February. Initial resistance lines up at the $1170.00 figure, whereas continued selling would challenge $1151.85.
