Forex Analysis: US Dollar Rebounds as S&P 500 Chart Warns of Reversal

Ilya Spivak

THE TAKEAWAY: The US Dollar is staging an impressive recovery while S&P 500 positioning warns of a turn lower ahead, promising added support for the haven currency.

US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS– Prices are rebounding toward resistance at the top of a rising channel set from mid-September (10154), a barrier reinforced by the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion at 10170. A break above the latter barrier aims for the 100% level at 10248. Near-term trend line support is at 10081.

S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices put in a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern below resistance at 1495.70, the 100% Fibonacci expansion, hinting a move lower is ahead. Near-term support is in the 1470.40-74.90 area marked by the September 14 2012 high and the 76.4% Fib. A reversal below that targets the 61.8% expansion at 1454.50. Alternatively, a break above 1495.70 aims for the 123.6% level at 1531.30.
