The Dollar index continues to trade above the short-term Ichimoku cloud support and, I believe, we are in a phase where the uptrend has paused and we should soon see a new uptrend start. The triangle pattern in the short-term implies that the waiting will soon end.
Green lines = triangle pattern
The Dollar index made a low at the 38% Fibonacci retracement and since then it is moving higher and sideways forming a triangle pattern and at the same time holding above the Ichimoku cloud support. Resistance is at 95 and support is at 94.40. Breaking below the 38% retracement will increase the chances of a deep pullback towards 93.
On the daily chart, as shown above, the Dollar index remains above the tenkan-sen support. The price action implies that we are currently in a sideways corrective move as a pause to the bigger bullish trend that could bring the index towards 100 if the level of 95.50 is broken and if the support at 92 is held.
