This suggests the possibility that the price could continue its bullish trajectory, aiming towards the first resistance level. The first support for the price is located at 103.57, acting as a pullback support. This level is expected to serve as a significant safety net for any short-term pullbacks. The 2nd support is at 102.67, which also holds the characterization of a pullback support. On the potential barrier front, the first resistance is set at 104.72. What accentuates its significance is its confluence with the 127.20% Fibonacci Extension, cementing its position as a swing high resistance. The 2nd resistance is found at 105.74, marking another critical threshold in the potential upward journey of the DXY. EUR/USD: The EUR/USD chart is currently displaying bullish momentum, primarily influenced by the price's position above a major ascending trend line. This position suggests that there's a strong possibility for further bullish momentum in the future. Within this context, there's potential for the price to experience a bullish bounce from the first support at 1.0783 and then make its way towards the first resistance at 1.0933. The first support at 1.0783 is particularly noteworthy because it's an overlap support, and it aligns with both the 78.60% and 100% Fibonacci Projections, highlighting a Fibonacci confluence. On the other side, the first resistance at 1.0933 is identified as an overlap resistance, indicating a potential area where selling interest might arise. . EUR/JPY: The EUR/JPY chart is currently experiencing a bullish overall momentum and is positioned above the bullish Ichimoku cloud. Based on the analysis, there's a potential scenario for a bullish continuation towards the first resistance level. The first support at 156.91 is a significant level due to its swing low support characteristics. The 2nd support at 155.48 is also valuable as it represents a swing low support and coincides with the 50% Fibonacci Retracement. In terms of resistance levels, the first resistance at 159.32 stands out due to its multi-swing high resistance attributes, as well as its alignment with the 127.20% Fibonacci Extension. EUR/GBP: The EUR/GBP chart is exhibiting a bullish overall momentum. According to the analysis, there's potential for a bullish continuation towards the first resistance level. The first support at 0.8516 is notable for its multi-swing low support characteristics. The 2nd support at 0.8393 is also significant as it represents an overlap support. On the resistance side, the first resistance at 0.8664 stands out due to its overlap resistance characteristics. The 2nd resistance at 0.8742 is noteworthy for being a pullback resistance and coincides with the 50% Fibonacci Retracement. GBP/USD: The GBP/USD currency pair's technical landscape reveals a tentative bearish undertone, albeit with subdued conviction. The recent breach below a critical ascending support line has precipitated a potential bearish inclination. This evolving narrative suggests the likelihood of a bearish continuation targeting the first support level pegged at 1.2314, identified due to its function as a swing low support. On the other hand, any rallies might confront resistance barriers. The first resistance, set at 1.2647, is delineated as an overlap resistance, making it an essential point of observation. Similarly, a secondary resistance level is pinpointed at 1.2792, which also carries the classification of an overlap resistance. These technical demarcations offer pivotal zones to monitor, both for potential reversals and continuations in line with the emerging bearish sentiment. GBP/JPY: The GBP/JPY chart is demonstrating a bullish overall momentum, and this is further supported by the fact that the price is currently above the bullish Ichimoku cloud. Based on the analysis, there's potential for a bullish continuation towards the first resistance level. The first support at 183.24 is significant due to its overlap support characteristics and its alignment with the 50% Fibonacci Retracement. The 2nd support at 180.40 is noteworthy as it represents a swing low support and coincides with the 61.80% Fibonacci Retracement. Regarding resistance levels, the first resistance at 186.42 stands out due to its multi-swing high resistance features. The 2nd resistance at 189.89 is meaningful as it corresponds to the 100% Fibonacci Projection. USD/CHF: The USD/CHF chart currently manifests a bearish momentum, predominantly influenced by the price's movement within a descending channel. This channel further accentuates the bearish trend, suggesting the likelihood that the price might persist in its decline due to the prevailing bearish impetus. Within this environment, there's a foreseeable scenario wherein the price may exhibit a bearish response upon approaching the first resistance at 0.8850 and subsequently descend towards the first support level at 0.8702. The first support level is notable for its designation as an overlap support, signifying a potential zone where the price could find stability. Conversely, the first resistance at 0.8850 is of particular interest not only because it's identified as an overlap resistance but also due to its alignment with both the 50% and 61.80% Fibonacci Retracement levels, presenting a Fibonacci confluence. This confluence may amplify its role as a barrier to any upward movement. Additionally, the 2nd resistance at 0.8920, marked as an overlap resistance, is also aligned with the 61.80% Fibonacci Retracement, further accentuating its potential significance in the price dynamics. USD/JPY: The USD/JPY chart currently displays a bullish momentum. Within this favorable trend, it is anticipated that the price might continue its bullish path, targeting the first resistance at 147.96. This resistance level is notable not just because it acts as a pullback resistance, but also due to its alignment with both the 61.80% and 100% Fibonacci Projections, highlighting a significant Fibonacci confluence that could influence price behavior. Additionally, the first support is also situated at 147.96, which is identified as an overlap support. This suggests that this level might play a dual role, serving as both a potential floor for price retractions and an impending target for bullish pursuits. Further reinforcing the chart's structure is the 2nd support at 141.63, which is similarly characterized as an overlap support.

This first resistance level at 1.3837 is identified as an overlap resistance, implying that it could act as a hurdle to the price's upward movement. On the other hand, the downside confirmation level at 1.3515 is identified as an overlap support. Should price break through this level, there is a potential for further downward movement towards the first support. This first support level at 1.3341 is also identified as an overlap support, suggesting that it might provide additional support to the price. AUD/USD: The AUD/USD chart is currently exhibiting an overall bearish momentum, indicating a prevailing downtrend. Given this momentum, there's a possibility that the price might experience a bearish reaction off the downside confirmation level and subsequently drop towards the first support level. The potential downward movement could continue should price break below the downside confirmation level at 0.6389 which is identified as an overlap support that aligns with the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement level. Furthermore, the first support level at 0.6177 is identified as a swing-low support, indicating that it has previously acted as a point of support during previous price swings.

In addition, the first support level at 0.5749 is identified as an overlap support that aligns with the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement level.

In light of this, the price is expected to fluctuate, potentially oscillating between the first resistance at 1981.99 and the first support at 1806.08. The first support at 1806.08 stands out as an overlap support, highlighting its significance as a potential area where buying interest might emerge. Just above this level, at 1880.29, there's another region of interest to consider.
