Market Update 12/7 – Watch this Level in USDOLLAR
All eyes should be on the month+ USDOLLAR channel line. As noted last week, a break below would serve as the trigger that the USD has finally turned.

AUDJPY low on Friday was at the top side of former trendline resistance and the September low. This is a good spot for a bounce (this pertains to ‘risk’ in general). 82.00/30 is well-defined for resistance. Watch for support at 79.40/50.
That 11/10 reversal nailed the high. From high to low, BTCUSD dropped 39%. The low over the weekend was at the center line from the channel that originates at the 2015 low. 53000 has been a key level since September and I’m watching for resistance at that level. With the low at the center line however, watch for support at 45000-46000. An aggressive bearish target on a break of the center line is 23000. The longer term picture is below.

Prediction headlines indicate extreme confidence in the direction of the trend. This is the same psychology that led to Powell capitulating on inflation. I’m extremely bearish the USD. Whether or not we get a spike higher following NFP is a complete guess but pay attention to this short term channel in USDOLLAR. A break below would serve as the ‘all clear’ that the USD is about to dump.
AUDJPY is the ultimate risk barometer. As usual, it’s WAY ahead of the equity market (the equity market is always the last to know). Price has reached the median line of the fork that originates at the May high. This is a good spot for a bounce and 82.40 is well-defined for resistance. This is the 25 line, which was support on 11/10. Ultimately, a downside objective is near 74 (see below).
The DXY high is right on the trendline that was pointed out last week (see chart below for the full picture)…we may have just seen a major top. Trading wise, I’m looking towards 93.30/50 with 95.20s as a possible bounce level. The lower zone is channel support. That will be the big test. If DXY is a bear then 96.20s should provide resistance.
USDJPY reversed sharply last week and high was 115.52! Near term downside focus is 112.20s and 114.50s sticks out as possible resistance. This is the 61.8% retrace of the decline from the high along with the 25 line of a short term fork. The 75 line provided support (so far) so resistance at the 25 line would make sense.
