US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices may be topping having hit a five-year high following the formation of a Shooting Star candlestick. Negative RSI divergence bolsters the case for a downside scenario. Near-term support is at 11278 the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the November 17 low at 11219. Alternatively a turn above the 23.6% level at 11315 opens the door for a challenge of the 38.2% Fib at 11374.

S&P 500 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices paused to consolidate after clearing resistance at 2051.00 the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion to expose the 38.2% level at 2081.20. A further push beyond that targets the 50% Fib at 2105.60. Alternatively a reversal back below 2051.00 on a daily closing basis targets the 2022.10-32.30 area marked by the 14.6% expansion and the September 19 high.

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices paused to digest gains after hitting a three-week high above the $1200/oz figure. A daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1212.23 exposes the 1229.19-37.59 area marked by a falling trend line and the 50% level. Alternatively a reversal below the 1178.86-80.84 zone (December 2013 low 23.6% Fib) targets the 14.6% retracement at 1161.49.
