US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices corrected downward as expected after prices produced a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 10942, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 10880. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 11019 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% retracement at 11066.

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices advanced as expected after putting in a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. A continued push higher through the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1236.31 exposes the 50% level at 1252.80. However, the appearance of a Shooting Star candles warns a pullback may be ahead. A turn below the 23.6% level at 1215.91 targets the intersection of falling channel top resistance-turned-support and the 14.6% Fib at 1203.33.
