• resistance level of 96.85 at the lower boundary of ISL38.2 equilibrium zone of the Minuette operational scale forks ;
• support level of 96.50 on the ultimate Schiff Line of the Minuette operational scale forks.

The breakdown of ISL38.2 (resistance level of 96.85) Minuette, followed by breakdown of ISL61.8 Minuette (97.00) will determine the development of the movement of the dollar index within the boundaries of the equilibrium zones of the Minuette operational scale forks (96.85 - 97.50 - 98.15) and Minuette (97.00 - 97.50 - 98.00), as well as the 1/2 Median Line Minuette channel (97.80 - 98.20 - 98.60).

On the other hand, the breakdown of the final Schiff Line Minuette (support level of 96.50) will enable the development of the downward movement of #USDX to the final FSL line (95.40) of the Minuette operational scale forks and initial line SSL (94.75) of the Minuette operational scale forks.

From March 13, 2020, the development of the Spot Gold movement will continue to be determined by the development and direction of the breakdown of the boundaries of 1/2 Median Line channel (1639.88 - 1620.00 - 1600.20) of the Minuette operational scale forks. The details of the movement of Spot Gold is presented on the animated chart.

The breakdown of the lower boundary of the 1/2 Median Line Minuette channel (support level of 1600.00) will determine the development of Spot Gold movement within the boundaries of the equilibrium zones of the Minuette operational scale forks (1603.00 - 1578.00 - 1555.00) and Minuette (1600.00 - 1573.00 - 1546.00).

Yen - 13.6% ;

Pound Sterling - 11.9% ;

Canadian dollar - 9.1%;

Swedish krona - 4.2%;

Swiss franc - 3.6%.

The first coefficient in the formula leads the index to 100 at the starting date - March 1973, when the main currencies began to be freely quoted relative to each other.
