US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices may be carving out a symmetrical Triangle, a chart pattern hinting at on-coming uptrend continuation. A daily close above 12066 (14.6% Fibonacci expansion, Triangle top) exposes the 12149-77 area (March 13 high, 23.6% level). Alternatively, a move below Triangle floor support at 11970 opens the door for a challenge of the 11858-86 zone (March 18 low, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement).
S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices are consolidating after moving lower as expected following the appearance of a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. A daily close below the March 12low at 2040.10 exposes the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 2004.60. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib expansion at 2084.00 targets the 2111.00-19.40 area (23.6% threshold, February 25 high).
GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices are edging lower after putting in a bearish Three Inside Down candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 1200.07 exposes the 1178.38-85.23 area marked by the 23.6% level and the March 31 low. Near-term resistance is at 1224.15, the April 6 high.
CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices continue to consolidate below the $60/barrel figure. A daily close below trend line support at 54.64 exposes the March 17 low at 52.55. Alternatively a break above the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 59.35 targets the 50% level at 61.45.
