Technical Analysis Today: DXY, GBP/USD, Gold, WTI Crude & S&P500
Welcome to today’s edition of The Technical Scope, your twice-weekly guide to the evolving landscape of global markets through the lens of technical analysis. This report focuses on pure price action, highlighting key supply and demand zones, tracking momentum shifts, and identifying potential trading opportunities. Each edition covers major assets, offering a broad view of how currencies, commodities, and equities are performing. When market conditions present interesting setups, additional instruments will also be analyzed to provide deeper insight and actionable context.
Today’s edition presents our technical analysis of the following key assets: DXY, GBP/USD, Gold, WTI Crude & S&P500
Dollar index

Daily Chart
The Dollar Index chart reveals a defined sideways consolidation pattern following its prior impulsive upward expansion. Price action has repeatedly tested the structural ceiling around the 100 level, where selling pressure has capped further upside momentum. Currently, the index is showing signs of exhaustion near this resistance zone, suggesting a potential rotation lower.
Traders should monitor for a continued move lower within this range, targeting the established demand level at 99.00. A failure to defend this lower boundary could signal a deeper corrective phase lower to 98.00.
GBP/USD

Daily Chart
The GBPUSD chart reveals a defined sideways consolidation pattern following its prior impulsive downward expansion. Price action has repeatedly tested the structural floor at the 1.3300 level, where buying pressure has capped further downside momentum. Currently, the pair is stabilizing above this key support zone, printing a rotation higher.
Traders should monitor for a continued move higher within this range, targeting the established supply level around 1.3500. A failure to break above this upper boundary could signal a longer consolidation phase.
Gold

Daily Chart
The Gold chart reveals an undefined sideways consolidation pattern following its prior impulsive downward expansion. Price action has repeatedly tested the structural floor near the major psychological levels, where buying pressure has capped further downside momentum. Currently, because of the bullish divergence on momentum, the index is building energy for a sustained upward rotation.
Traders should monitor for a continued move higher within this range, targeting the established structural level at 4580. A failure to maintain this upward trajectory could signal a deeper corrective phase, whereas a sustained hold above recent lows will keep the broader accumulation structure intact.
WTI Crude Oil

Daily Chart
The WTI Crude chart reveals a defined sideways consolidation pattern following its prior impulsive upward expansion. Price action has repeatedly tested the structural support boundaries, where buying pressure has capped further downside momentum. Currently, the commodity is approaching its key baseline structure.
Traders should monitor for price action near 76.80 dollars, which represents a critical make-or-break level and acts as support. A failure to defend this lower boundary could signal a deeper corrective phase, whereas a sustained hold above it will keep the major sideways structure intact.
S&P 500

Daily Chart
The S&P500 chart reveals a defined upwards trend despite the recent retracement from 7,600. Price action has repeatedly tested this structural resistance band, where selling pressure has capped further upside momentum. Currently, the index is gathering strong upward momentum as it retraces towards the top of its range.
Traders should monitor for a continued move higher within this range, as prices are expected to test supply levels at 7600. If the risk-on mode persists, we expect a break higher for a new high, whereas a failure to clear this barrier will keep the broader sideways structure intact.
