US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
-
Support: 11379, 11291, 11220
-
Resistance:11434, 11522, 11581
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index moved lower as expected after prices put in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 11379 exposes the 38.2% level at 11291. Alternatively, a turn above the 14.6% Fib at 11434 opens the door for a challenge of the December 8 high at 11522.
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.
