The Dollar index continues to trade inside the upward sloping channel. Price held support yesterday and bounced towards recent highs above 97. If this week we see a close above 97, this will be a bullish confirmation breakout above cloud resistance.
Dark blue lines - bullish channelPrice remains in a bullish trend in the short-term as price holds inside the bullish channel and above the Ichimoku cloud on the 4-hour chart. Short-term support is at 96.40-96.60. Resistance is at 97.25-97.50. Long-term support is at 95.
Red line - resistanceGreen line - support
The Dollar index is breaking above weekly cloud and trend line resistance. It is of great importance for price to remain above the cloud, otherwise a fake breakout will be a very bearish signal. The upward sloping green trend line remains the most important technical support indicator for the trend. As long as price is above it bulls remain in control.
