Technical analysis of USDX for February 16, 2017

The Dollar index is pulling back as we expected in our latest analysis. Although the price has broken out of the bearish channel and we might have completed a wave 4 low at 99.24, the bearish Head and Shoulders pattern should not be overlooked. A break below the neck line will be a very bearish sign. Otherwise a higher low will be a bullish sign.

Red line - support (broken)

Blue lines - projected price path ahead bullish scenario

Black line - bearish scenario

The Dollar index is pulling back towards cloud support. I expect to see a big test of short-term support around the 100 level. If the bulls manage to hold this level and bounce, a higher low will be a very bullish signal for the Dollar index. If, however, sellers prevail and break below this year's low at 99.24, we should expect heavy selling to follow.

Blue area - Head and shoulders pattern

Green trend line - long-term support

Black line - Head and Shoulders neckline

The Dollar index got rejected at the weekly tenkan-sen (red line indicator). This was expected. The pullback is now very important to hold above the black neckline for the bulls. This support area of 99.20-99 is very important as we also find the weekly kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) there.
