US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
Support: 10898, 10845, 10753
Resistance:11052, 11143, 11216
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Indexdeclined as expected after putting in a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 10898, marked by a falling channel bottom, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposingthe 38.2% Fibonacci retracementat 10845. Alternatively, a reversal above the channel top at 11052 opens the door for a challenge of 11143, the October 3 high.
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.
