DXY

US tax reform a question mark
Weekly close important as we sit above important levels
A continuation of inverted H&S or not?
Support 94.19 (23.6% Fibo), 94.05 (Aug 2016 low), 93.77 (100 DMA)
Resistance 94.62 (10 DMA), 96.03 (38.2% Fibo)

EURUSD

Market is quiet waiting for a new inspiration from next week’s US data
Consolidating above 1.1605 (50.0% Fibo), 1.1615 (high from May 2016), 1.1620 (200 HMA)
And below 1.1658 (200 WMA), 1.1670 and descending trendline connecting the lows of Oct 2008, Jul 2012
Expiring options (EUR 2.4 bln) with strikes between 1.1500/50

USDJPY

Quiet trading after not being able to break 114.50 few days ago on lacking US yield support
If we see the cross back above 114.00/25 you may consider rally continuation
But is has to be supported by US data next week
Otherwise if no pick up in 10-yr Trys yields towards 2.40% and above the return to 113.00 to come
Resistance at 113.76 (10 DMA), 114.40/50, 114.72
Support at 113.00, 112.97 (23.6% Fibo)

Staying above 112.60 may help bulls (from Thu):


Oil

What’s driving the market?
Saudi Arabia and supply cuts vs strong demand
Rally from USD 42 to 57 was supported by shutdowns due to hurricanes and ongoing Saudi Arabia upheaval
Seems to be exhausted and well overdone
Growing US production will be proved by data soon
On top of that not abiding with production cuts from OPEC members to be visible too
Likely to push prices of oil lower going to year end

At the moment traders are hesitant to take profits as they are not sure
How the situation in Saudi Arabia will develop
Likely to take profits after few days of pausing
Brent/WTI spread should stay around USD 6 on transport constrains between Cushing and Gulf coast

Brent daily

Support levels 62.00 than 60.00
