• Risk aversion supports dollar: According to market news, Israel will soon retaliate against Iran.

Technical Analysis 

Daily Chart Insights

• Stochastic oscillator: The fast line shows signs of turning downward in the overbought area, suggesting that the current bullish trend may be adjusted briefly. However, since there is still no clear bearish signal, it is not advisable to short rashly. 

• Key price: As analyzed in last week’s article, the high point of the Pin bar, near 146.45 is the key to the long-short conversion. The exchange rate is currently in the adjustment stage, and the downward limit target looks at the long-short conversion price. After the adjustment is over, pay attention to the 200-day MA around 149.391. The second target is near the previous decline in the fair value gap. 

H1 Chart Insights

• Stochastic oscillator: The indicator is entangled below the 50 median line. Before entering the oversold area, the exchange rate will still be dominated by oscillation downward. Wait for the indicator to send a bullish signal in the oversold area before it is worth paying attention to whether there is a long opportunity. 

• MA support: The MA group begins to flatten. If the exchange rate continues to rise after being blocked by the black 65-period MA, the cycle of the exchange rate rise will be very strong. However, it is temporarily judged that the current downward adjustment trend is wave 4, so the downward target looks at around 146.467, which is the high point of the previous wave 1.
