The US Dollar (USD) remains firmly in a bullish position driven by hot U.S. inflation data, elevated rate hike expectations, and rising Treasury yields ahead of upcoming Federal Reserve and central bank decisions.

Timeframe & Chart Breakdown

USD/JPY (Bullish Breakout Watch).

  • Daily Timeframe. Buyers are defending dynamic support at the 20-day EMA (158.10) and horizontal pivot support at 157.67. A firm daily close above 159.02 confirms a breakout from its seven-week consolidation range.
  • Weekly Timeframe. The broader trend prints a series of higher lows above 156.06. Upside targets sit at 160.38 and the prior July intervention high near 164.00.

EUR/USD (Bearish Breakdown Watch).

  • Daily Timeframe. Price is pinned beneath a heavy cluster of moving averages around 1.1180–1.1200. Immediate daily support rests at 1.1150 and the 50% Fibonacci retracement at 1.1130.
  • Weekly Timeframe. The 1.1100–1.1109 zone is a critical floor where the 200-week moving average meets the October year-to-date low. A weekly close below 1.1100 opens the door toward 1.1000 and 1.0905.

GBP/USD (Bearish Pullback in Broader Range).

  • Daily Timeframe. Slipping below 1.3400 shifted short-term momentum lower, putting focus on immediate support at 1.3314–1.3322 (200-period 4H SMA and 50% Fib). Resistance is capped between 1.3365 and 1.3400.
  • Weekly Timeframe. Weekly charts remain mixed inside a multi-month triangle pattern. Holding above 1.3200 keeps consolidation intact, while a breakdown exposes the 1.3137–1.3140 yearly lows.

USD/CAD (Bullish Trend, Overbought Near-Term).

  • Daily Timeframe. Rising daily momentum is pressuring the 1.4215 Fibonacci retracement and 1.4250 congestion. Pullbacks find initial daily support at prior intraday highs around 1.4135–1.4151 and 1.4100.
  • Weekly Timeframe. Mixed weekly readings and overbought daily stochastics suggest sellers may defend the 1.4290–1.4300 October year-to-date high. Longer-term structural support sits at 1.4000 and 1.3950.

USD/CHF (Daily Bounce vs. Weekly Ceiling).

  • Daily Timeframe. A sharp rebound has pushed the pair through 0.8250 (now flipped to support) to test 0.8300. Positive daily indicators favor a test of the 0.8350 break level.
  • Weekly Timeframe. Negative-to-mixed weekly momentum is expected to cap initial rallies beneath the 0.8395–0.8400 October yearly high. Key weekly downside support sits at 0.8200 and the 0.8120 Fibonacci.
