US Dollar Index Price Chart – USD Weekly (DXY)
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; DXY on TradingView
The US Dollar continues to hold a major support confluence here at 102.54/99- the focus remains on possible inflection off this zone with a weekly close below needed to fuel the next major leg lower towards 101.08/24. Resistance steady at the yearly open / 52-week moving average at 103.50 and the focus is on a breakout of this range for guidance in the weeks ahead.
Oil Price Chart – Crude Daily (WTI)
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; WTI on TradingView
Keeping a close eye on oil prices this week as WTI attempts to rebound off confluent downtrend support on building momentum divergence. Initial resistance eyed at the 2022 yearly open / December-open at 75.35/60 with bearish invalidation now lowered to the 200-day moving average / 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the September decline at 77.73-78.13.
US 10-Year Treasury Yield - US10Y Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Technical Strategist; US10Y on TradingView
Yields on the 10-year are struggling here at the confluence of the 61.8% retracement of the yearly range and the 52-week moving average- looking for possible inflection here. Resistance / medium-term bearish invalidation now lowered to 4.29/32. A break / close below this zone keeps the focus on the lower parallels, currently near 3.70 and 3.50- look for a larger reaction there IF reached. Obviously, implications here for USD/JPY as well.
