FX.co ★ #USDX Analysis for September 26, 2013

The Dollar index formed a bearish flag that we noted in yesterday's analysis, which should make us anticipate a break down in prices. Once the flag was broken, prices fell towards 80.30-20 and are now making a back test bounce. I expect the downtrend to resume soon towards 80.

The short-term resistance that could change short-term trend if broken is at the 80.60 price level. The trend is expected to continue downwards and if the low at 80.28 is broken, we could witness a downward acceleration towards 80. The main component of the Dollar Index is EURUSD and from its point of view things are pretty bearish for the Dollar.

Concluding, the upward bounce at the start of today's session is most probably a back test. I anticipate lower prices as long as 80.60 is not broken upwards. Support is now found at 80.30 that if broken will push prices lower towards 80.
