FX.co ★ #USDX Technical analysis for June 25, 2014

The Dollar index held its support at 80.25 yesterday and made a breakout above short-term resistance at 80.35. However, the bounce was not strong enough to push the index towards the important resistance of 80.70.

The Dollar index continues to trade below Ichimoku cloud and I believe it is making a sideways consolidation before a stronger downward move that will bring it towards 80-79.90. If the red support trend line is broken we will have our short-term sell signal. This trend line is at 80.20.

The Dollar index needs to break above 80.70 in order to reverse the trend. For some time now I expect the Dollar index to move towards Ichimoku cloud on a daily basis towards the 50% retracement. I still believe the correction is not over and we should prepare for lower levels.
