FX.co ★ Ichimoku indicator analysis of USDX for February 22, 2016

The Dollar index is trading sideways in a upward sloping channel as support was held last week. It seems the bounce that started at 95.25 is not over and we should expect more upside in the index.

Blue lines - bullish channel

The Dollar index is above to break above the Kumo in the 4-hour chart. Price has held above the kijun and tenkan-sen indicators while is now testing the 38% Fibonacci retracement. The chances of breaking higher towards 97.50 are high as long as price is above 96.50.

On a weekly basis, price has closed above the Kumo which means that this week we are going to see a test of the kijun- and tenkan-sen indicators. Resistance by those two indicators is at 97.20-97.50 area. Support is at 98.90. Price is above the weekly Kumo but below the tenkan- and kijun-sen. So traders need to be very cautious as price is trapped between important support and resistance levels.
