US Dollar Index Short Term Sell IdeaH4 - Price respected a key resistance zone and bounced lower.
Uptrend line breakout.
Lower lows.
H1 - Bearish trend pattern.
Currently it looks like a correction is happening.
Until the two strong resistance zones hold I expect the price to move lower further after pullbacks.
DXY Analysis - Short SetupI am under the anticipation that XXXUSD pairs are accumulating and USDXXX are distributing.
Based on the current price action of the DXY chart, I am anticipating weakness in the Dollar.
This is the setup I have based on DXY, which would have to be translated to respective Forex pairs and/or Commodities, etc.
The safest protocol at the moment is to wait for convincing displacement and structure to form before taking the trade. We have CPI and PPI at the end of the week, so I will see how price forms before that.
2 possible scenarios I will be looking for.
1.) DXY creeps up during the week until CPI to my point of interest, then that could be a good signal for this analysis to play out.
2.) DXY creeps down then pumps up during CPI, and then lingers at my point of interest before PPI, then that could also be a good confluence.
My only concern is that the DXY wants to continue rallying to take out the higher timeframe trendline liquidity and fill imbalances back at a Premium level. I would be surprised due to the increased hedging by commercials. But, anything is possible!
Yours truly,
R2F

*Cryptos and Commodities markets are signaling a bullish open to a week of mute economic data before CPI on 12/13 and the last FFR hike announcement of 2022 on 12/14. More volatility is to be expected with increased supply chain disruptions due to reduced exports from China weighing on Big Tech ( Apple in particular ). While certain major cities like Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai are loosening Covid restrictions in effort to quell protests and reinvigorate dampening domestic demand. A price cap imposed by the G7 + Australia on Russian oil took effect today, the $60/barrel price cap applies to any third-party countries who intend to use G7 or EU tankers, insurance companies or credit institutions to ship Russian oil . Russia responded by saying they would cut production while OPEC+ reiterated their commitment to a 2m output reduction until 2023 . This will likely push the price of oil higher. Ukraine has also mentioned that Russia hasn't launched any large missile offensives in the past two weeks and that they are likely gearing up for another significant strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in attempt to break Ukrainian citizens down during the winter.
Commodities, Cryptos, US Treasurys, HSI, CNYUSD, GBPUSD and EURUSD are up. DXY, US Equity Futures, N100, NI225 and JPYUSD are down.

Dollar Index, perfectThe price responded perfectly to the signal sent by the MCS in H4.
After this excess of strength, the price pushed down until it reached MML H4, giving us the opportunity now to place a Stop Profit below the entry point.
Let's set the new Stop Profit at 96.72
Once we reach 38.2% of the last bullish vector we can lower the Stop Profit on the MML to 96.05, where the price is now.
A BEARISH DOLLARPRICE HAS BEEN ACCUMULATING FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS, IN AN AREA WHERE ON THE HIGHER TIME FRAMES, LEFT AN IMBALANCE IN PRICE. BELOW THIS AREA OF IMBALANCE WE STILL HAVE MORE PRICE INEFFICIENCY IN THE 80'S PRICE RANGE. PRICE DID IT'S THING AND HAS TRAPPED BREAKOUT TRADERS AND NOW, THE EXPECTATION IS TO SEE PRICE MOVE LOWER TO FILL SOME OF THE INEFFICIENCY BELOW. PROJECTING PRICE TO GET TO AT LEAST 85.50
USD INDEX Is Setting Up for Potential DeclineThe decline from 99.66 unfolded as a leading diagonal structure, labeled i-ii-iii-iv-v. According to Elliot Wave theory, leading diagonal always point toward the direction of the major trend.
Also, once a five-wave impulse is completed a three-wave retracement follows. In the Dollar Index case, the corrective pattern seems to be unfolded as a w-x-y double zigzag and has fulfilled the requirement.
Confluence that the price is also sitting at a resistance zone and approaching 78.6 Fib, a bearish reversal is imminent.
While the 99.66 invalidation level remains intact, watch out for bearish price action signal from the resistance zone. The breach of the Flag channel or blue horizontal line will confirm the bearish setup.
What's your view on Dollar?
Dollar Index approaching support, potential bounce! Dollar index is approaching our first support level at 95.77 (horizontal swing low support, 61.8%, 100% Fibonacci extension, 50% Fibonacci retracement) where a strong bounce might occur above this level pushing price up to our major resistance at 97.24 (horizontal swing high resistance, 100% Fibonacci extension, 76.4% Fibonacci retracement).
Stochastic (89,5,3) is also approaching support where we might see a corresponding bounce in price.
