US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices turned higher as expected after producing a bullish Piercing Line candle pattern. A daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 11901 exposes the 50% level at 11951. Alternatively, a reversal below the 23.6% level at 11839 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% Fib at 11801.

S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices are struggling to maintain downward momentum after putting in a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern but the setup remains technically valid for now, warning that a double top may yet be confirmed at 2119.40 (February 25 high). A break below the 14.6% Fibonacci retracement at 2081.10 exposes the 23.6% level at 2053.40. Alternatively, a move back above 2119.40 targets the 23.6% Fib expansion at 2149.10.
