FX.co ★ Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis of USDX for March 19, 2018

The Dollar index is in a bullish short-term trend. Price is breaking above the Ichimoku cloud in the 4-hour chart while price has formed a W-reversal pattern.

The Dollar index is making higher highs and higher lows since March 5th. Support is at 90-90.20. Resistance is at 91 where we find the March highs. Holding above the 4-hour Ichimoku cloud will be the first step for bulls. On the other hand, bears need to see a price break below the kijun-sen at 89.97 as a sign of weakness.

On a daily basis, the Dollar index has broken inside the Daily Kumo. Trend has changed to neutral. Resistance is at the upper cloud boundary at 91.35. For a bigger bounce bulls need to break above the cloud. On the other hand, Dollar bears will need to see price close for at least one day below the cloud (below 90). For now bulls seem to be gaining control of the trend.
