USD Index backing into trend support, on reversal watch

Since hitting its head on peaks from Nov-Dec the US Dollar Index (DXY) has been steadily selling off. This could soon change with short and longer-term trend-lines rising up in the current vicinity. Even if bullish price action doesn’t develop immediately, there is perhaps an even stronger area of support down near 95.80 – the underside of a possible ascending wedge and the 200-day meet up to make for solid confluence. The key is to watch price action, where, if at all, do we see bullish price action? A bullish response would mean the opposite for the Euro, which was discussed yesterday…

AUDUSD and AUDNZD in the spotlight with near-term bearishness

AUDUSD is carving out a channel (bear-flag) as it trades up against resistance. Respect of resistance and a break of the underside parallel should have AUD rolling back downhill. The price action over the past couple of months could tighten up, offering a possibly bullish alternate should a descending wedge trigger to the upside through the upper trend-line of pattern. For now, though, leaning bearish.

AUDNZD turning lower off trend-line and price resistance, in-line with a pervasive downtrend. Look for further weakness to continue as long as it stays below trend resistance, with an eventual target of the spike-low near 10200 and worse…

Gold is looking at near and longer-term bearish possibilities

Gold is taking on a corrective look to it in the near-term as price action is sluggish on the top-side after the late-Feb, early-March plunge. A break below 1293 should have the neckline of a broader head-and-shoulders top in play. As said this morning, it’s not the prettiest pattern, but sometimes those can be the best.
