Dollar Index Update

$USDX Daily Chart - The dollar index gained last week as expected, reaching the first check point at 1.382 of BC (previous post). The Euro and Pound weakened about 130 pips and 180 pips respectively against the dollar while Yen, Swiss Franc and Canadian Dollar weakened 131, 130 and 160 pips respectively.

$USDX 4 hour Chart - I remain bullish on the US against the Yen and Canadian Dollar, but I think it might find resistance against the Euro, Pound and CHF. Next check point for USDX is at 84.82. Economic Data Calendar 

Dollar Index Weekly Outlook

$USDX DAILY CHART - The dollar index has broken the rising trendline from early February after it failed to close above 82.97 ( 161.8% of AB). I am hoping to see short-term reversal for the dollar, targeting retracement levels of the rally (see chart below).

$USDX 4-HOUR CHART - The dollar index currently trade around 82.45/55, just above 23.6% retracement level at 82.17. Next support levels are 38.2% and 50% at 81.55 and 81.05 respectively.

$GBPUSD Update

GBPUSD 4-HOUR CHART - Price action went as expected since previous update, currently trading above 1.6100/1.6080 (current support area). I expect Cable to make higher highs toward 1.6300 and then maybe another fall to test 1.6000 support.

$GBPUSD Outlook

Cable was moving sideways between 1.5960 and 1.6060  last week. The pair maintained its two week uptrend pattern but it needs to break above 1.6070 to confirm trend continuation. Break below 1.5900 should bring 1.5787 and 1.5665 in focus.

GBPUSD DAILY CHART - Waiting for a breakout.

GBPUSD 4-HOUR CHART - Targeting 1.6170  if 1.6050/70 resistance broken
