Key Levels in Focus
DXY – Focus is on the 2018 high-week close at 97.42 and the key 61.8% retracement at 97.87 – looking for possible exhaustion off one of these levels. Support at 96.84 backed by 96.63.
EURUSD – Initial topside resistance objectives at 1.1285 backed by 1.13 – look for a bigger reaction there IF reached. Support along the lower parallel / weekly open at 1.1214. Critical support still 1.1186 and 1.1131. (ECB on tap on Wednesday)
Gold – Price testing resistance here at 1302. Constructive near-term while above the weekly open at 1291. A topside breach targets 1307 backed by 1313 (broader bearish invalidation)
Crude Oil – Focus is on key resistance confluence at 63.57/68–weekly close above is needed to keep the long-bias viable targeting 65 and beyond. Interim support at the 200DMA ~61.35 backed by bullish invalidation at 60.06.
