USD Technical Analysis: Euro Parity Bounce Leading to Important First Test

USD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: EURO PARITY BOUNCE LEADING TO IMPORTANT FIRST TEST

The DXY index is coming off with good momentum from its recent peak on the back of a rally from just under parity in the Euro. Given that EUR accounts for about 57% of the DXY’s weighting the index will react in near inverse fashion.

The correction in the trend may be short-lived, but we may very well see a period of horizontal price action develop before the broader trends try to reassert themselves. What this move doesn’t look like at this time is a big-picture reversal. That would take a good bit more of time to get a handle on if it is.

The first levels to watch in the DXY and EUR/USD are 10581 and the 10340s, respectively. The DXY support level is a solid one with both the June high and a trend-line from May coming into confluence around the same price point.

The EUR/USD has the 2017 low at 10340, which is just a fraction lower than a pair of lows that developed in May and June. A short ways higher above those lows is a channel line dating to February. It’s a strong channel given its duration and connecting points, including the recent one just under parity.

The thinking is that we will see a bit more of the recent trends unfold, but soon support/resistance DXY/Euro will offer up some type of reaction points. How impactful those levels are will help determine whether a larger move can unfold or if the corrective move is over.

    • FTSE 100 hits yet another record high while DAX 40 and S&P 500 resume their ascents Outlook on FTSE 100, DAX 40 and S&P 500 amid strong US earnings. Source: Getty Images Written by: Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London   Publication date: Friday 26 April 2024 13:42 FTSE 100 hits yet another record high Foreign investor buying of the undervalued UK blue chip index led to further gains in the FTSE 100 which is trading at yet another record high. The 8,200 zone is now in focus, above which lies the 8,300 mark which is where the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the March-to-June 2020 advance, projected higher from the October 2020 low, can be found. Support sits between the early-to-mid-April highs and Wednesday’s low at 8,046 to 8,003. Source: ProRealTime DAX 40 recovers from Thursday’s low The DAX 40 was dragged lower by its US counterparts following the release of much weaker-than-expected preliminary Q1 GDP data but overnight recovered on better-than-expected US earnings. A rise above Thursday’s 18,080 high would engage this week’s high at 18,238 ahead of the 18,500 region. Yesterday’s low was made along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 17,815. Source: ProRealTime S&P 500 resumes its ascent The S&P 500 resumes its ascent, having on Thursday slipped to 4,990 on disappointing US Q1 preliminary GDP data, before recovering on strong earnings by the likes of Alphabet, Microsoft and Snap. The index is heading towards the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) 5,114 above which the April downtrend line can be seen at 5,146. Slips may find support can be seen around Monday’s 5,039 high.

    • Gold price, Brent crude price and natural gas price rise in early trading Commodity prices have gained in early trading, recovering from the lows seen earlier in the week. Source: Getty Images Written by: Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London   Publication date: Friday 26 April 2024 13:25 Gold up as price recovers from late April weakness The price has pushed higher in early trading, reinforcing the view that a higher low has been formed. Additional gains would head towards the $2400 highs from the middle of April, and then on to $2425. For the moment, $2300 appears to have been established as a higher low, so a close back below this level would be needed to open the way to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). Source: ProRealTime WTI higher for a second day After bouncing off the 50-day SMA earlier in the week the price has continued to push higher, with further gains in early trading this morning. A higher low appears to have formed, and now the price is testing trendline resistance from the early April high. A breakout above this would target $85.72, last Friday’s high, and then on to $87, the highs from the beginning of April. A reversal back below $82 might result in a test of the 50-day SMA and last week’s low. Source: ProRealTime Natural Gas gains continue Despite a sudden drop on Wednesday the price has maintained the move higher from the beginning of April. Trendline support from the end of March continues to underpin the price action, and continued gains will target the 100-day SMA and the highs from the beginning of the week at 2130. Sellers will want to see a close below Thursday’s low and below trendline support to mark a more bearish development. Source: ProRealTime
