US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
-
Support: 10942, 10880, 10817
-
Resistance:11019, 11066, 11146
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Indexcorrected downward as expected after prices produced a bearish Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 10942, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 10880. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 11019 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% retracement at 11066.
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.
