FX.co ★ USDX technical analysis for September 17, 2015

The US Dollar Index was rejected once again by the green trend line resistance and pulled back towards the 38% Fibonacci retracement. With the FOMC meeting tonight, everyone expects the Fed rate decision. I prefer to wait with a neutral stance and let the dust settle after the Fed's rate announcement.

Green line - resistance

The US Dollar Index remains below the Ichimoku cloud. Resistance remains at 96-96.10, so a daily close above this level will be a bullish signal. However, I believe we could still see a sharp decline towards the 61.8% retracement before resuming the uptrend.

Red line - resistance

Green line - support

The weekly chart remains in a neutral trend but with a bullish flag formation. Tonight we will have more information as to where the market is heading. Longer-term support is at 92-93 while resistance is seen at 96.50 and 98. A weekly close above the red trend-line resistance will be a bullish signal.
