USDX technical analysis for August 7, 2015

The US dollar index remains in a short-term uptrend, but it has given some worrying signs of a possible reversal as it cannot push above the 98.20-98.30 resistance. The price got rejected once again at that resistance area but for now the pullback is shallow and has not broken short-term support at 97.15.

The price is above the Ichimoku cloud and tests the Kijun-sen (yellow indicator) support. Short-term support is a recent low at 97.65 so a break below that level could push the price towards the cloud support at 97.15. Critical support for the medium-term bullish trend is at the green trendline support at 96.70.

The US dollar index still trades inside the triangle pattern. With NFP today announced in the US, we should expect some increase in volatility to help the price break above or get rejected and push towards the green trendline support. Weekly support is also found at 96.70; and the next one, at 95.90. The best strategy is to wait until the Non-Farm Payrolls announcement to open a position.
