Talking Points:
- US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
- Support: 10375 (double bottom)
- Resistance: 10462 (channel top), 10495 (support-turned-resistance)
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index looks to be attempting to set a double bottom at 10375, the October 22 close. Confirmation of the upward reversal pattern requires a breach of resistance is at 10462, marked by the top of a falling channel that has guided the benchmark currency downward since the beginning of the year. A daily close above this barrier initially targets horizontal support-turned-resistance at 10495.
Our long-term fundamental outlook still favors a broadly stronger US Dollar against its key counterparts in the months ahead. As such, we remain long the greenback via theMirror Trader US Dollar currency basket.
