In the run-up to the July open, the US dollar is aiming for critical resistance, while gold and bitcoin are poised for divergent breakouts.

We addressed feasible technical setups we’ve been following in the USD Majors in Monday’s Weekly Strategy Webinar, with the US Dollar Index (DXY) reaching strong trend resistance just higher. With US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) on tap ahead of a prolonged holiday break, we’re nearing the conclusion of the month / quarter. It’s a good moment to stay nimble and minimize the size of your positions. These are the setups we’re keeping an eye on as we approach the end of the week—in this webinar, we’ll go through the technical levels for the US Dollar Index, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, AUD/JPY, NZD/USD, Gold, Crude Oil (WTI), Bitcoin (BTC/USD), and USD/JPY.
