The same can be said about the downside in EUR/USD as the all-important 11500 level comes back into play. USD/JPY still has a little room to go, but has resistance zones in view from which a reversal could develop.

Technical Highlights:

  • EUR/USD 11500 support keeping it afloat

USD Index (DXY) finds sellers at resistance

The US Dollar Index (DXY) rally is finding opposition at a series of peaks dating back to the spring. It didn’t post the most powerful yesterday off the mid-95s, but if it can’t soon trade on through look for weakness to set in. A breakout is likely to see the DXY trade to or better than the August high.

EUR/USD 11500 support keeping it afloat

EUR/USD is the big driver of the DXY, so naturally it is moving on reverse and instead of resistance it is at a much defined level of support just above 11500. The euro has bounced off support a half-dozen times since the end of May, making it a very key spot. A hold keeps it buoyed or better, while a break will be viewed as a catalyst for keeping the train rolling downhill towards the August low.

USD/JPY running towards resistance zones

USD/JPY hasn’t been on our radar much, but with big overhead resistance zones only a short distance away that could change very soon. The first zone is from around 11420-11474 and the second is located in the 11500s. A strong turnabout at one of these zones is likely to pique further interest and a retracement at the least. We’ll be discussing further in the days ahead…
