FX.co ★ USDX technical analysis for October 7, 2015

The US dollar index is strengthening today as the price is very close to the support area around 95, but it is expected to trade inside the longer-term triangle pattern. The US dollar index is mainly moving sideways during the last month. I expect a breakout to take place soon.

Green line- support

The US dollar index is trading inside the Ichimoku cloud in the 4-hour chart. The price is also inside the short-term triangle pattern. Support is seen at 95 and resistance is expected at 96.60. A breakout at any level will give a new trend.

Green line - support

The weekly chart remains above the weekly Ichimoku cloud, but still inside the bullish flag pattern. The price remains trapped between the weekly kijun- and tenkan-sen indicators. This confirms the neutrality of the trend. Waiting for a breakout before opening a position is my preferred strategy.
