US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices issued their strongest close in five years, with prices seemingly poised to continue marching higher. A daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 11457 exposes the 50% level at 11511. Alternatively, a reversal below the 23.6% Fib at 11391 clears the way for a test of the 14.6% expansion at 11350.
S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices corrected higher after producing the largest drawdown since mid-October. A break above channel floor support-turned-resistance at 2071.10 exposes the November 26 high at 2075.90, followed by the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 2086.60. Alternatively, a renewed push downward that takes prices below the 14.6% Fib retracement at 2038.40 aims for the 2015.20-22.10 area, marked by the 23.6% threshold and the September 19 high.
GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices backed off a bit after producing the largest daily advance in over two years. Near-term resistance is in the 1212.23-17.97 area marked by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and a falling trend line set from early July. A break above this barrier exposes the 50% level at 1237.59. Alternatively, a reversal below support at 1180.84, the 23.6% Fib, aims for the 14.6% retracement at 1161.49.
CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices are in consolidation move above the 70.00 figure. A daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 70.84 exposes the 14.6% level at 69.57. Alternatively, a move above the 38.2% Fib at 72.89 targets the 50% retracement at 74.56.
