Dollar Index may have topped Trend News

Dollar Index is showing signs of a short term at least top at the 84.55. Our bullish targets as mentioned in previous posts were fulfilled and it is time to see a downward correction. The upward sloping trend channel still contains the trading prices of the Dollar Index. Support is being tested today at 84.30 as increased buyers strength in the EUR/USD puts pressure in the index.




It is possible that this downward price correction that started today will push prices towards the lower boundaries of the trending channel. 83.80 is the support that bulls wouldn't want to be broken downwards. Short-term support levels where the index could stop this downward correction are the 84.20 and 84 price levels. Breaking below these levels will put the 83.85 support to the test.



We see in the above chart ho steep the rise from 80.50 is. Breaking the upward channel shown in the 1st chart we post today, will signal the end of the move from 80.50 that will most probably lead to a corrective move downwards near the 50%-61.8% retracement(82.60-10). The bigger picture as shown above remains bullish on the dollar with potential longer term targets near 87-88. The higher highs and higher lows pattern supports our bullish view. The longer term trend will be in danger if prices break below 80. Concluding, we turn to neutral as the index might have made a short term top. We will try long positions near the short term support with 83.80 stop. Moreover, an upward move above 84.50 could signal that a short term correction is over and we are heading towards 85.

Dollar Index continues up trend Trend News

The Dollar Index continued higher towards our targets as mentioned in previous posts. The sequence of higher highs and higher lows remains intact and validates our bullish view. The trend is up and this is confirmed by the weakness in the EUR/USD by making new lows. Don't forget that the EUR/USD is the biggest component of the Dollar Index.



The short-term support is found at 84.35 and then at 83.95. Resistance is found at 85.45. The trend remains up for both short and intermediates term. The first worrying signs of a trend chang will be if prices fall below 83.95. The intermediate-term trend will be challenged if 83.15 is broken.



If 83.15 is broken, then we will probably see 82.25 and why not 81.75. The longer-term trend is challenged at 80. Until then we remain long and we ride the bullish trend raising our stops in order to protect our bullish positions. Any pullback towards 83.85-70 should be met with buying as this would be another opportunity to enter long. At those levels, the 83.15 stop is close by so the risk taken is not too big.


Concluding, we remain bullish as this trend has the potential to move much higher if it continues this ladder pattern of higher highs and higher lows. The longer-term stop at 80, and intermediate term stop at 83.15. We will get bearish only below 80.
