US Inauguration Day (12:00 EST)
NOTE: Trading in January will be limited. This is a low probability month as institutional money is slowly returning.
Keep in mind that political drama in the US will still be a factor. Rioting will potentially continue. And anything can happen on the 20th during inauguration of Biden. So please be careful with your trading and risk.
DXY

Long term, I am still bearish on the dollar. However, still looks like we are headed higher to at least start the week. There is a weekly liquidity draw above 91.25 that reaches up to 91.75. Then there is some strong resistance around the 92.10 level.
No trading today. But …. Interesting price action so far. Price was moving down nicely until it hit the down candle from the 14th. Price it the opening price on the 14th at 90.28 and moved up. This is a bullish move with the down candle supporting price. Could see price move up to 90.71, the low from two days prior, or will it move above the D1 90.90 resistance level. We have seen consecutive lower highs for months now and one higher low since the 6th of January. Waiting to see what market structure gives way first. With all of the political action today, maybe we will find out.

Support 1.2081
Long term bullish on the EURUSD. Price just hit a weekly fair value gap (liquidity) and rejected. However, I do expect price to enter this area. The EURUSD is showing weakness relative to the dollar and GBPUSD in that today broken the Dec 1st prior low while the dollar has not reached the same corresponding high and the GBPUSD is not even close to that same low.
No trading. Price has been rejected from the D1 resistance at 1.2151. Looking to see what happens at the H1 support of 1.2081 and then the W1 FVG below 1.2060. Keep an eye on the political environment today. Anything can happen in price.

Resistance 1.3727 and 1.3740
Support 1.3651 (NY midnight open)
Long term bullish on the GBPUSD. There is a big liquidity draw just above current price. However, with the bullish dollar, I would expect the GBPUSD to consolidate or drop slightly for the week, allowing the EURUSD to move more to the downside.
The EURGBP support at 0.8875 has finally given way. This is extremely bullish for the GBPUSD. If the dollar drops, we can see a large runup in price on the GBPUSD. If the dollar rises, I will look for the GBPUSD to consolidate, letting the EURUSD drop, and then eventually rise when the dollar eventually resumes its bearish bias.
No trading. Given the strength of the GBP, even with dollar pushing higher right now, we could see the GBPUSD move up to the H1 liquidity and resistance levels. Normally, if the dollar stays bullish, I would expect consolidation at the H1 resistance area … but … anything can happen today with the political environment.
