The US dollar index has reached an important resistance area and a pullback is justified at current levels. Bulls should be very cautious in case the index makes full bearish reversal.

Red line - resistance

The US dollar index is trading above the Ichimoku cloud. It has already broken the previous high of 96.50. A rejection at the resistance line of 97.25 could push the index back towards the Ichimoku cloud support at 95.50.

Green line -weekly support

The USDX bounced from the Ichimoku cloud towards the upper bullish flag boundary and we can see a rejection. It is still too early to get bearish, but this is the level with the best risk-reward ratio. Stop for short positions is very close and a pullback towards the weekly cloud support is justified. Bulls should be very cautious and raise their protective stops.
