FX.co ★ #USDX technical analysis for March 27, 2014

The Dollar index continues to trade above short-term support levels and continues to move sideways after the big spike up from 79.20. The short-term resistance at 80.40 if broken is a good buy signal with 80.70-80 next target. The index trades above the Ichimoku cloud and above the broken trend line.

The retracement towards 79.80 has completed the downward correction quite fast and this means that we could very well be in a triangle correction before moving higher. A move above 80.25 would be a good bullish sign. A break below 80 will be a bearish sign.

Our longer-term view remains bullish as long as we trade above 79.20. EURUSD is a major component of the index and if this pair breaks below 1.3750 we should expect the index to rise above short-term resistance levels.
