US Dollar Index correction stalls ahead of 97.00 levelsThe US Dollar Index rally yesterday might have surprised quite a bit of traders but this pullback was more than due before resuming lower again. Please note that the earlier drop last week had taken out a major support at 95.69 levels and yesterday's pullback could be seen as a reaction to that. The pullback managed to reach 96.96 levels which is fibonacci 0.618 resistance of the entire drop between 97.71 and 95.65 levels respectively. Believe it or not, if the above structure holds true, we could see the US Dollar Index dropping rapidly towards 93.63 levels at least, as projected here. The higher degree wave structure is also suggesting that the US Dollar Index is either producing an expanded flat lower or a fresh impulse wave lower. Overall bearish momentum to remain, until prices stay below 97.71 levels respectively. Disclaimer: This written/visual material is comprised of personal opinions and ideas.

US Dollar Index Macro View 23/12 - Merry ChristmasThere is no surprise that Federal Reserve rate hike, US Dollar Index rallied after. Investor were looking for Fed Chair Powell dovish tone but his comments came out optimistic. The dollar rose despite the fact that 10-year Treasury yields dropped. Small adjustment in the statement on lowered growth and inflation forecast, these changes were not significant to push the dollar lower. Fed Chair Powell’s comments that he made it clear that nothing is predetermined and everything is data dependent but he also said the sharp decline in US equities and tightening of financial market conditions has not fundamentally altered their outlook. The Fed still plan to raise interest rates in 2019 and most policy makers expect the economy to grow. However, if the bond market continues to fall, it will be difficult for the dollar to sustain its strength. The US Dollar Index chart did not change last week ranging between 12330 & 12260 levels. The long-term constructive for bull, till price stay below 12200 levels going forward. Looking into medium-term where the US Dollar Index could continue its way towards 12330 levels progresses. The short-term suggesting sideways might be seen for upcoming week till prices break strongly above 12260 to constructive for bull or bounce down to 12260 levels to retest support. Overall, the medium-term bull structure prevails until prices stays below 12100 levels. Upcoming week will be a quiet trading week ahead.

DOLLAR INDEX ANALYSISIn recent weeks the Dollar Index has moved within a rectangle. If we take the analysis on a "fundamental" level, it could be an inversion rectangle. Yesterday, the Fed raised rates. In the early hours, the dollar strengthened. It was enough, however, a reading of the Economic Projections to understand that the dollar came out weakened by the meeting. Briefly, almost all data were revised downwards (compared to the previous September report). In particular, the GDP dropped from 3.1% to 3.0% for this year and from 2.5% to 2.3% in 2019. The rate hikes, forecast three times in 2019, fell to two (at the moment). So, fewer rate hikes and weakened economic conditions certainly don't help the dollar. However, we have to take into account that, right now, it's not the best time to trade. In five days it's Christmas, and most of the big investors are currently out of the markets. So, everything becomes more complicated. In the medium-term, I'm convinced that we will see a drop in the dollar but in the short-term, anything can happen. To all of you Merry Christmas and a New Year full of gains!!

US Dollar Index Macro View 01/12 - G20 meeting outcome?The US Dollar fell after Fed chair Jerome Powell surprised the market by saying that interest rates are “just below” neutral levels. He believes economy will continue growth with low unemployment and inflation around 2%, but he thinks moving too quickly could risk shortening the US expansion. Personal income and spending grew more than expected but jobless claims increased and pending home sales fell sharply. FOMC minutes did not help the dollar even though Fed officials saw the need for another rate hike. Even though there is a pickup in spending, the momentum in the economy is slowing. We might see if US delay additional tariffs with China in the G20 meeting until further talks, we could see a rally in equities and currencies. Upcoming data on the calendar that could market moving are Fed Chair Powell testifies and the non-farm payroll. The US Dollar Index chart last week range between 12300 & 12225 levels. Where the views still remain as unchanged from last week. The long-term constructive for bull, till price stay below 12150 levels going forward.

It has print a low at 96.60 levels and is seen to be trading at 96.71 levels at this point in writing. Looking into the wave structure, it remains quite clear that a higher degree Wave (C) is unfolding since 97.70 levels earlier and within that a lower degree wave iii could be in progressing against 97.54 highs now.

DXY prepping to crack supports underneath Bearish divergence on the daily chart is very clear. Also if you check the weekly chart, we had a clear SFP formation which is also a bearish signal. RSI gave confirmation of breakdown when it made a "lower low", this upward movement we saw today is a an opportunity to long the majors- EURUSD, AUDUSD, GBPUSD and NZDUSD. Invalidation of my idea is clear, if daily candle closes above 97.20, I will exit my longs from the majors.... BUT BUT BUT.... If DXY touches the red block marked in the chart, that would urge me to enter longs on the majors which would be a nice R/R trade as marked in relation to downside on DXY's chart
