Friday 4th Aug 2023: Technical Outlook and Review

DXY:

The DXY instrument is currently in a bearish trend, with a potential for a bearish continuation towards the 1st support level at 102.00. This support level serves as a pullback support and aligns with the 23.60% Fibonacci Retracement level.

If the price declines past the 1st support, the 2nd support level at 101.46, also acting as an overlap support, is expected to prevent further decline. This level aligns with the 38.20% Fibonacci Retracement.

On the other hand, if the price starts to rise, the 1st resistance at 102.77, functioning as an overlap resistance, might hinder bullish progression. This level coincides with the 78.60% Fibonacci Retracement. If the price surges past this resistance, the 2nd resistance at 103.44, which corresponds to a multi-swing high resistance, could pose an additional obstacle.

EUR/USD:

The EUR/USD pair is currently showing a bullish trend. However, in the short term, we could potentially see a drop towards the 1st support level at 1.0918. This support level acts as an overlap support which may hold the price.

If the price breaks below the 1st support level, we can expect the 2nd support at 1.0838 (a multi-swing low support) to act as a strong barrier to prevent further decline.

If the price bounces off from the support levels, the 1st resistance to challenge the bulls would be at 1.0959. This level serves as an overlap resistance and is also in line with the 78.60% Fibonacci Projection level.

Should the price move beyond this point, the 2nd resistance at 1.1034 (also an overlap resistance) could pose a further obstacle to upward price movement.

.

EUR/JPY:

EUR/JPY exhibits a bullish momentum on the chart and there is potential for a bullish bounce off the 1st support and a move towards the 1st resistance.

The 1st support level is at 155.89 and can be identified as an overlap support, which coincides with the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level, potentially providing a strong base for the price.

If the price drops further, the 2nd support level at 155.08, being a pullback support and aligning with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level, could provide a strong floor for the price.

On the upside, the 1st resistance is at 157.50. This level serves as a multi-swing high resistance and is in line with the 100% Fibonacci projection level, indicating a significant level for potential price reversal.

Should the bullish momentum continue, the 2nd resistance level to watch would be at 158.05. This level is a multi-swing high resistance and could provide another target for buyers.

EUR/GBP:

The EUR/GBP chart exhibits a bearish momentum and there is potential for a bearish continuation towards the 1st support.

The 1st support level is at 0.8585 and it can be identified as an overlap support, coinciding with the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level. This confluence could potentially provide a strong floor for the price.

Should the price decline further, the 2nd support level is at 0.8554. This level, being a multi-swing low support and aligning with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level, could provide another base for the price.

On the upside, the 1st resistance level is at 0.8644. This level serves as an overlap resistance and coincides with the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level, indicating a significant level for potential price rejection.

Should the bearish momentum stall and a reversal occur, the 2nd resistance level to watch would be at 0.8687. 

GBP/USD:

The GBP/USD pair currently shows a bullish trend. However, in the short term, we might see a drop towards the 1st support level at 1.2621, which serves as a swing low support, before it bounces back towards the resistance levels.

If the price dips below the 1st support level, the next potential floor is the 2nd support at 1.2497. This is an overlap support and also corresponds to the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement level, providing a solid barrier against further price decline.

On the other hand, if the price rebounds off from the support levels and starts ascending, the 1st resistance level at 1.2750 could pose a challenge to the bulls. This level acts as an overlap resistance and aligns with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement and 100% Fibonacci projection levels, indicating a potential area of Fibonacci confluence.

Should the price momentum remain bullish and break through the 1st resistance, the 2nd resistance at 1.2876 (an overlap resistance corresponding to the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level) could stand as the next hurdle for the bulls.

GBP/JPY:

The GBP/JPY chart shows a bullish momentum, indicating potential for a bullish continuation towards the 1st resistance.

The 1st support level is at 180.81. This overlap support level aligns with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement, making it a significant price level.

If the price drops further, the 2nd support level is at 179.75. This is considered a pullback support and coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement, providing another substantial price floor.

On the upside, the 1st resistance level is at 181.93. This pullback resistance could serve as an initial barrier for the price on its upward path.

If the bullish momentum continues and the price breaks through the 1st resistance, the 2nd resistance to watch is at 183.15. This multi-swing high resistance level could potentially halt the price rise or induce a price reversal.

USD/CHF:

The USD/CHF pair is currently on a bearish trend, which suggests that the price might continue to decline towards the 1st support level.

The 1st support level is at 0.8698, which serves as a pullback support, and also coincides with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level. This creates a potentially strong barrier against the further downward movement of the price.

If the price manages to break below the 1st support, the next key level to watch would be the 2nd support at 0.8631, which is also a pullback support.

In the event of a trend reversal and the price starts to rise, it may encounter resistance at the 1st resistance level of 0.8793. This level is considered as a swing high resistance, which could halt the upward movement of the price.

Should the upward momentum continue to the point of surpassing the 1st resistance, the next hurdle would be at the 2nd resistance level at 0.8868, which serves as a pullback resistance.

USD/JPY:

The USD/JPY pair is currently demonstrating a bearish trend, suggesting a continuation of this trend towards the 1st support level.

The 1st support level is at 141.94 and this has been determined as an overlap support, which has proven to be a strong barrier in the past, making it a significant level for traders to observe.

If the price breaks through this 1st support, the 2nd support level is at 140.79. This level is a pullback support and aligns with both the 50% Fibonacci retracement and 78.6% Fibonacci expansion. This confluence of Fibonacci levels adds to the credibility of this support level.

On the flip side, if there is a reversal of trend and the price begins to rise, the 1st resistance level is at 143.86, which is an overlap resistance. This could prove to be a significant obstacle for upward price movement.

Should the price manage to breach this 1st resistance, the 2nd resistance at 144.86 could come into play.

USD/CAD:

The USD/CAD pair is currently in a bearish trend, indicating a possible continuation of this trend towards the 1st support level.

The 1st support level is at 1.3270, identified as a pullback support. This is additionally reinforced by the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, suggesting it could be a significant level for traders to watch.

If the price breaks below this level, the 2nd support level is at 1.3253. This level has been recognized as a multi-swing low support, adding to its potential credibility.

On the other hand, if the trend reverses and the price starts to rise, the 1st resistance level is at 1.3377. This level is identified as a swing high resistance, making it a potential obstacle for an upward price movement.

Should the price break above this level, the 2nd resistance at 1.3447 may come into play. This level is an overlap resistance and could prove challenging for the bullish momentum to

If the price breaches this level, the 2nd support level is at 0.6464. This level has been identified as a swing low support, indicating it could be a significant level for traders to monitor.

On the contrary, if the trend reverses and the price starts to rise, the 1st resistance level is at 0.6595. This level is identified as a swing high resistance and further reinforced by the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement level. This means it could be a challenging hurdle for an upward price movement.

The 1st support level is at 0.6064. This level is identified as a multi-swing low support, suggesting that this level might attract buying interest if the price retreats.
