The Dollar index has bounced strongly off the Ichimoku cloud support after making a low at 85.20. The Dollar index has managed to hold above the cloud support and has also showed signs of strength by breaking above 86. The trend is bullish and this trend reversal could signal the start of a new upward move in the Dollar index. For this to hold, the Dollar index should not break below 85.20.

The Dollar index is progressing as expected from the bullish flag break out as we noted several days ago, producing a new higher high and a higher low, confirming the bullish trend. Resistance at 86.75 should now be tested and broken, otherwise we might be in danger of seeing a pull back towards 84.
