US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: DXY TRYING TO CROSS 21-YR TREND-LINE

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is trying to cross a trend-line dating to 2001, a line that also connects the very important Covid 2020 high. The DXY is currently above the trend-line on a daily basis, but given its duration you need to get out a crayon to draw it and look at it on a weekly or even monthly basis.

Nevertheless, momentum has been strong and we could see the important March 2020 high at 10299 tested here shortly. Given the extend nature of the market it seems likely that on a first test of that high we may see at least a set-back induced, but we will need to wait and see how momentum is shaping up at that juncture.

For now, the outlook remains bullish until we see a sharp reversal lower. In the near-term we may see some support come in at a small peak created last week at 10103. This is also right around the long-term trend-line. Would-be longs looking to play the trend may look there for support or the trend-line off the end of March low.

A decline through that support won’t turn the outlook bearish, necessarily. The trend is strong and until we see a hard break and failure to rally it must be respected. A breakdown below last week’s low at 99.82 could start to set into motion a larger decline.

On the flip-side, shorts don’t hold any appeal given the lack of clear resistance. With that in mind, a spike to the March 2020 high could change that view if we see price action get volatile around that 10299 level.

With about 69% of the token allocated to the XION community and 31% allocated for contributor to the ecosystems, many users are gearing for the listing date. The eligible users for this airdrop encompass testnet users, builders, and active Discord members and most of them have already claimed their allocations. With the listing date drawing closers and hype on the project increases as the first user-focused Layer 1 blockchain that aims to improve interoperability, solving both distribution and fragmentation issues to enable mainstream adoption.
    • PANW Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge PaloAlto Networks Inc., (PANW) Daily Chart PANW Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Minute {iii}. DIRECTION: Upside within {iii} of 3. DETAILS: Looking for further upside into wave (5) as we seem to have completed a large wave 2 and then started to nest in what could be a series of ones and twos. PaloAlto Networks Inc., (PANW) 1H Chart PANW Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Wave {iv} of 3. DIRECTION: Upside in wave {v}. DETAILS: Here’s an alternate highlighting the possibility we are in a triangle in wave {iv}, and we are headed higher into wave {v} of 3 which has to be shorter than wave {iii}, therefore no higher than 444$. This analysis focuses on the current trend structure of PaloAlto Networks Inc., (PANW) utilizing the Elliott Wave Theory on both the daily and 1-hour charts. Below is a breakdown of the stock's position and potential future movements. * PANW Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* PANW is currently in Minute wave {iii} of an impulsive wave 3, with expectations for continued upside movement. After completing a large wave 2, the stock seems to have nested within a series of ones and twos in the early stages of wave 3. This suggests that a strong move to the upside is anticipated, as wave (5) is yet to unfold. Further gains are likely as the impulsive structure develops, confirming the bullish trend. * PANW Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 1H Chart* On the 1-hour chart, PANW appears to be in wave {iv} of 3. An alternate scenario suggests that wave {iv} is forming a triangle, which would imply a consolidation period before the final leg up in wave {v} of 3. Since wave {v} must be shorter than wave {iii} (to maintain proportionality within the Elliott Wave framework), the upside target for wave {v} is capped at $444.
