Commentary & insights

EUR/USD prospects for further corrective bounce?

US 100 Index prospects for further upside extension

Chart 3 as of June 13 2023 7:06 AM UTC

Technical commentary for US100 Index: Current index price is 14,881. The index is in an uptrend, this can be technically supported by the higher tops and higher bottoms observed on price (daily chart US30 pattern), price being above its longer term valid trendline, as well as its short term valid trendline also being above its tentative very short term trendline (see chart trendlines).

Strong short term (14-25 days) key support can be seen near 14,305, while the prospects for a further price upside extension towards the 15,435 area can not be ruled out provided price can remain above the 14,305 support.
