US Dollar TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices rebounded as expected after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candle pattern at support set from October 2013. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 10456 initially exposes the 38.2% level at 10513. Alternatively, reversal below rising trend line support set from the July 1 low at 10430 opens the door for a test of the July 9 low at 10392, followed by a triple bottom in the 10354-75 area.
S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices are begrudgingly inching lower as after putting in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. A daily close below support at the bottom of a rising channel set from mid-April – now at 1960.80 – exposes the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1938.50. Alternatively, a reversal above resistance in the 1977.70-85.90 area, marked by the 23.6% Fib expansion and the July 3 high, clears the way for a test of the 38.2% expansion at 1995.80.
GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices have mounted a corrective recovery after turning downward as expected.
