DXY prepping to crack supports underneath Bearish divergence on the daily chart is very clear. Also if you check the weekly chart, we had a clear SFP formation which is also a bearish signal. RSI gave confirmation of breakdown when it made a "lower low", this upward movement we saw today is a an opportunity to long the majors- EURUSD, AUDUSD, GBPUSD and NZDUSD.
Invalidation of my idea is clear, if daily candle closes above 97.20, I will exit my longs from the majors....
BUT BUT BUT.... If DXY touches the red block marked in the chart, that would urge me to enter longs on the majors which would be a nice R/R trade as marked in relation to downside on DXY's chart

US Dollar Index Wave B terminates at 97.20 !The US Dollar Index 4H chart view has been presented here to have a larger wave picture lasting for several weeks to follow (8-12). The index most likely topped at 97.20 levels yesterday, terminating Wave B of a potential expanded flat which could be unfolding. It is seen to be trading around 96.80 levels at the moment and Wave C could be on its way lower. If the above wave counts tend to hold, we could see a religious down trend, forming lower tops and lower bottoms in the next several weeks, with price potential below 93.80 and towards 92.00 levels respectively. We maintain our medium term bearish outlook against 97.20 levels for now.

US Dollar Index potential initial target could be 95.80The US Dollar Index might have formed a meaningful top at 96.85/86 levels last week before reversing lower on Friday. The index seems to be testing the recent swing highs and could reverse lower from current price around 96.75 levels. Let us have a re-look at medium term and short term wave counts for clear direction. The medium term outlook suggests that a flat corrective drop could be in the making with Wave A in place around 93.80 and Wave B in place around 96.85 levels respectively. Till the time prices stay below 96.85 and broadly below 97.00 levels, we could see a sharp drop lower towards 95.80 at least as the short term waves unfold. A lower degree waves i and ii could be complete now and wave iii could begin any moment till prices stay below 96.85.

DXY Ending Soon The Elliott Wave Flat Correction?!DXY short-term Elliott wave view suggests that the index is doing a Flat correction coming from 8/28/2018 low within cycle red wave II. Meaning that the internal distribution of cycle from that low is showing the sub-division of 3-3-5 wave structure. Where black wave ((A)) ended in 3 swings at 95.73 on 9/04 peak. Down from there the decline to 93.81 low ended black wave ((B)) lower as double three structure with the sub-division of 3 wave corrective sequence in blue wave (W),(X) & (Y).
The initial decline to 94.43 low ended blue wave (W) as zigzag structure. Up from there, the bounce to 94.99 high ended blue wave (X). Down from there, the decline to 93.81 low ended blue wave (Y) as zigzag structure & also completed the black wave ((B)) as well. Above from 93.81 low, the rally higher is taking place as an impulse in black wave ((C)) of II with the sub-division of 5 waves structure in blue wave (1),(3) & (5).
Where the first leg higher to 94.40 high ended blue wave (1). And pullback to 93.95 low ended blue wave (2).
A rally to 95.36 high ended blue wave (3). Then a pullback to 94.99 low ended blue wave (4). Near-term bluee wave (5) remain in progress and may or may not extend higher 1 more time within the blue box area by holding below the 95.93 invalidation level before ending the Flat correction in cycle red wave II.
Afterwards, the index is expected to resume the downside or should react lower in 3 swings at least. We don’t like buying the index.
US Dollar Index potential bearish reversal through 95.50/96.00The US Dollar Index has been testing resistance zone between 95.40 and 96.00 levels respectively. Looking at the wave counts (lower degree), it is quite possible that the last wave of expanded flat might have terminated at 95.30/40 levels yesterday. If this holds true, we could see a sharp decline from current price action. As an alternate count, the expanded flat could terminate through 95.50/96.00 zone (above previous high at 95.70 levels earlier). In either case, a potential bearish reversal could resume any moment from the above price levels. Please note that the potential of a sharp rally from 93.90 levels earlier is now looking near to complete. It could be a safe trading strategy to remain/add short positions between 95.50/96.00 levels. A medium term bearish reversal could be on its way soon.

US Dollar Index could terminate at 95.50/96.00 levels.The US Dollar Index was seen accelerating into its final corrective leg, within the expanded flat and has made an interim high close to 95.40 levels on Friday. Looking into the wave structure, the index could find resistance around 95.50 or it could push through 96.00 levels before resuming lower again. The expanded flat structure could be a traders nightmare if not identified at the right time. We have now changed our trading strategy from neutral to short, until prices remain below 97.00 levels going further. Please note that the medium term wave structure remains unchanged and the US Dollar Index could drop towards 91.50 levels, going forward.

US Dollar Index clears resistance at 94.80The US Dollar Index took out resistance at 94.80 yesterday with ease, as expected. At the moment, it is pulling back a bit and seen trading at 94.95/95.00 levels respectively. As long as prices stay above 94.40 levels, we could expect a push higher towards 95.70/95.00 levels. Looking at the wave structure, it can be assumed with more probability that the US Dollar Index could be carving out an expanded flat corrective rally which could extend up to 96.00 levels, going forward. With around 100 points of potential upside left for now, we would like to change our stance from neutral to short again. It could be a matter of time before wave C lower resumes.

US Dollar Index clears line of resistanceThe US Dollar Index has broken above its line of immediate resistance depicted on hourly chart here. The index is seen to be trading around 94.50 levels at this point in writing and could be targeting 94.80/95.00 resistance zone immediately. Structurally, the US Dollar Index could be well under its way to carve an expanded flat a-b-c (not highlighted here), eventually forming Wave B of a larger degree. If the above count holds well, we could see Wave B termination point towards 95.70 or 96.00 levels going forward. Please note that the medium term structure still remains bearish , but a short term rally could complete Wave B. We remain neutral for now.

US Dollar Index could produce a surprise rally towards 95.70 ?The US Dollar Index has tested lows at 93.80 twice now without much success and is back higher, trading around 94.30/40 levels at this point in writing. Please note that a short term resistance line is passing just through the price and a break here could push the index higher towards initial resistance at 94.80 levels. Looking at the wave structure, medium term bearish outlook still remain intact, but the US Dollar Index could produce a rally towards 95.50/96.00 levels before reversing lower again. We have changed our stand from bearish to neutral for now and would be looking for intraday rallies through 95.50 levels at least, to initiate probable shorts.

US Dollar corrective rally towards 95.70/96.00 ?The US Dollar Index recovered sharply on Friday, after printing lows around the 93.80 levels, slightly lower that the previous Wave 4 termination point at 94.10 levels. The rally was expected to materialize and it was just a matter of time for bulls to come into action. Looking at the structure, the US Dollar Index could be carving out a potential expanded flat corrective wave. If this is the case, we could see prices staying above 93.80 levels and pushing towards 95.70 levels going forward. Please note that we remain neutral for now and would be looking to sell higher as a safe trading strategy.

US Dollar Index could be looking to break above 94.70 ?The US Dollar Index is still seen to be consolidating in a narrow range between 94.30 and 94.70 levels respectively. The index is trading at 94.40/45 levels at this point in writing and is expected to turn higher pushing above 94.70 levels, provided the lower support range remains intact. With the bearish structure intact for US Dollar Index for medium term outlook, a safe trading strategy could be to remain/add to short positions on intraday rallies towards 95.00, 95.70 and 96.00 levels. Looking at the wave structure, the US Dollar Index could be poised to drop towards 92.00 and 91.50 respectively. It remains to be seen, where a lower top is being carved out for now.
