Talking Points:
US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices continue to fall in the aftermath of the FOMC announcement, probing below multi-year trend support (10434). This barrier is reinforced by a falling channel bottom at 10419. Breaking below that on a daily closing basis would suggest a major reversal is in progress and expose a double bottom at 10375.Resistance remains in the 10474-95 area, with a turn above that opening the door for another test of the May 28 high at 10531.
** The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index and the Mirror Trader USD basket are not the same product.
S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices advanced to yet another record high, eying resistance at 1961.50 marked by the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion. A break above that aims for the top of a rising channel set from mid-April at 1970.70. Emerging negative RSI divergence warns of ebbing upward momentum however and hints a reversal lower may be in the cards ahead. A turn below the 23.6% level at 1947.80 targets the 14.6% Fib at 1939.30.
GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices launched sharply higher to test resistance at 1321.64, the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion. A break above this barrier targets the 50% level at 1346.78. Alternatively, a turn back below the 1300/oz figure aims for the 1277.00-90 area, marked by April 1 low and the 23.6% Fib.
CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices pulled back as expected following a series of back-to-back indecision candles.Support comes in at 105.96, the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion. A reversal below that initially aims for the 61.8% level at 105.12.Alternatively, a move above resistanceat 107.32, the 100% Fib, targets the 123.6% level at 108.68.
