Weekly Technical Outlook- US Dollar Bears to Face FOMC, NFP

Weekly Technical Outlook- US Dollar Bears to Face FOMC, NFP

Is the USD ready for a Reprieve?

An in-depth, multi-timeframe look at the DXY (Dollar Index) alongside the FX Majors heading into the start of the week. The price action analog we’ve been following continues to suggest that a material risk remains for some USD exhaustion (rebound in price) as price approaching structural support just above the 88-handle.

Key Levels in Focus

DXY – Looking for support heading into 88.00/27- Resistance at 91

USD/JPY- Interim resistance at 109.55- bearish invalidation at 110.23

AUD/JPY- IF the pair is heading towards the range lows- advances should be capped by 88.40s.

GBP/USD – Risk is for a pullback while below 1.44- Interim support at 1.4023- break there would validate near-term correction lower in price.
