FX.co ★ #USDX Technical analysis for August 6, 2014

The Dollar index continued its upward move as expected after breaking above short-term resistance and made a new high at 81.64. Price is moving closer to our target of 81.75. I believe we are at the final stages of the rise from 79.75.

The trend remains up. Price is above the Ichimoku cloud in the 4 hour chart as shown above. The Dollar index is inside the upward sloping channel. Another pull back towards 81.40 is justified before the final expected push towards my target of 81.75.

The daily chart shows how price remains inside the upward sloping channel. The lower boundaries of the channel are at 81.40 and this is where the Dollar index will find support if it pulls back. My target of 81.75 remains valid. The trend remains up and crucial support that should hold is found at 81.20.
