Outlook
Here’s the outlook for the currency indices…
EXY
Looks bullish in the long-term, may be bullish this week, will need to watch for set ups from support. I think a 111 test is on the cards.
Monthly – Looks like it’ll want to head higher to the TL, pebble on a pond
Weekly – Can see the euro holding the w200 and moving higher
Daily – Has crossed key support will need to see if we close again below this level – there is minor support below 111.
DXY
Looking for a short term sell, but ultimate a climb higher to the 100s before rolling over
Monthly – Looking for DXY to hit 100 – prior resistance and TL touch
Weekly – Similar pattern – forming a head and shoulders at around 100
Daily – 97.78 level looks like a problem area for DXY look for an SFP (moved just ahead of it)
4h – Could create a nice divergence short in the coming days
JXY
Looks to be heading lower short and set ups
Monthly – Looks bearish. Retesting the m50 but rallies have been limited and price is struggling to move higher
Weekly – Weekly looks bearish, more downside on the cards retested the TL goodbye
Daily – Looks bearish looking at downside levels to 84s
BXY
Fairly neutral for now, looking for a test of the lows
Monthly – Prior TL that will probably get tested at some point in 2019-2020, for now continuation down, need to see if we close below 127s
Weekly – Looking to see how the week closes, expecting more downside to the Brexit lows
Daily – Next day or so key for BXY, will need to see how the 127 level holds, could produce a nice long depending on the level
CXY
Short term downside, longer term upside into 82s
Monthly – Hand-railing the m50 would expect it to clear and head to 84s
Weekly – Can see this heading to 73-74s support before breaking higher. Hugging w200.
Daily – Maybe more downside from here to the 74s
AXY
I fancy this for a reversal short
Monthly – Broken TL, I would expect it to head lower to the 69s and maybe the 63s
Weekly – Bouncing a bit, I think daily or 4h shorts are good ones to short
Daily – Very close to prior support (now resistance) look for SFPs
