The Dollar index is showing some signs of a pause to the upward move. The short-term trend is neutral. The longer-term trend remains bullish. We are very close to the 61.8% retracement of the decline from 2000. I believe we have some more upside potential to reach 101.50.
Red lines= triangle pattern
The Dollar index is trading sideways in a short-term triangle pattern. Resistance is at 100 and support at 99.30. The price is above the Ichimoku cloud and is trading around the kijun- and tenkan-sen indicators. We should see a break out of the triangle soon.
The weekly chart remains fully bullish with tenkan-sen and kijun-sen pointing higher. The price continues to make higher highs and higher lows.The weekly chart shows that we could have seen a short-term top but with the FOMC meeting scheduled for tonight the week is not over, this weekly candle can still change dramatically in favor of bulls. Nevertheless, bulls should not forget to raise their stops to protect their positions.
