The Dollar index has broken out and above the triangle pattern consolidation and is showing signs of a bullish trend starting. A price target remains near 99 for the medium-term trend while for the longer-term trend we can expect to see new highs above 101.

Red lines - triangle pattern

The Dollar index reached the Ichimoku cloud support and bounced off the support area breaking above the downward sloping red trend line resistance of the triangle pattern. This is a bullish sign not to be ignored as this could be the beginning of the next leg upwards towards 100. Short-term support remains at 95.50 while resistance is at 96.45.

The weekly candle has turned bullish back above the weekly Kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) and inside the weekly Kumo. This is a bullish sign after the breakout above the black downward sloping TL. Price has backtested the breakout area and is now slowly climbing higher. A

trend is bullish for the medium-term as long as price is above 93. I remain bullish on the US dollar.
