US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
Support: 10996, 10918, 10845
Resistance:11143, 11216, 11308
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Indexcorrected lower after last week’s breakout seemingly marking the resumption of the longer-term uptrend. Near-term resistance is in the 11102-43 area marked by the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion and the October 3 high, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 11216. Alternatively, a reversal back below channel top channel top resistance-turned-support at 10996 opens the door for a challenge of the 10918-59 area (23.6% Fib retracement, October 15 low).
Our long-term US Dollar outlook calls for a broadly stronger US Dollar against its major currency counterparts. With that in mind, we are holding long via theMirror Trader US Dollar currency basket.
