  • US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **

  • Support: 10942, 10880, 10817

  • Resistance:11069, 11146, 11209

The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Indexis in digestion mode after turning lower as expected following the appearance of a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracementat 10942 exposes the 50% level at 10880. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib expansion at 11069 clears the way for a test of the 38.2% threshold at 11146.

We remain broadly bullish on the US Dollar against its leading counterparts in line with ourlong-term fundamental outlook. As such, we remain long via theMirror Trader US Dollar currency basket.
