FX.co ★ Daily analysis of USDX for April 17, 2015

The bears are trying to make the USDX to test the support level at 96.30 in the short and medium terms. For now, it's not advisable to add long positions at this stage because the Index remains very strong in the current corrective move. Also, we could expect a rebound when that support zone is reached, but we want to remain bearish until the prise tests that level.

The USDX is in a decisive cycle because the USDX could find a strong floor at the support level of 96.67performong a breakout at the support zone around 96.99. Now, we remain bearish until that level, but in the medium and long terms, we don't recommend following a strong “bearish bias", as the most overall trend is still bullish.
