The US dollar index bounced as we expected, but failed to breakout above short-term resistance. There is still a danger of seeing a new lower low in the US dollar index before a resumption of an uptrend. The longer-term chart continues to favor bulls.
The US dollar index is below the Ichimoku cloud. This is a bearish indicator. The price reached the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) and got rejected. This resistance at 98.10 must be broken otherwise we should expect new lows towards 96.70.The weekly chart remains above the tenkan-sen (red line indicator) and has bounced off the 50% retracement., Short-term trend is bearish but if we look at the weekly chart we still consider this as a corrective pullback, but not a change in the trend of a bigger degree.
