TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

US Dollar Index Weekly H-L-C

In our update in early October we speculated: The big question is, could we be looking at an intermediate and perhaps even longer term high in the US Dollar? One indicator is that there was critical timing indicated for September 23rd to the 26th for all the financial markets… At this juncture, the weekly is in a steep downtrend and the daily is building a small flagging pattern under oversold conditions. On the long-term charts, prices are testing a key area of support at 10500/10495. Also note that this week’s low of 10448 hit the 50-week moving average…currently at 10450.

Critical monthly support runs from 9897 to 9830, an area that also represents the current 200-week moving average.

Short-term resistance is 10572/10583. A drive back over 10583 can test 10662. Resistance is 10754 and short-term pivotal against the 10818/10840 level.
