Dollar Index View On 2 Time FramesCurrently the Dollar Index is hard to predict, it can go either way and on neither time frame there's a clear trend. So I have placed the daily and the 4 hour next to each other to see if we can make a prediction.
First the daily time frame that will tell the trend for the next week. There's A LOT of room down to the lower range of the bigger channel and some decent room till the next support, on this support the index bounced back 3 times before. Within this bigger channel there's currently also a smaller channel which is the upwards trend to the upper range. Currently it's very close to touching the lower range of the smaller channel. Indicators are very bearish and don't support a bounce back yet, so its possible there will 1st be a smaller red candle that will really touch the lower range.
The 4 hour time frame that gives use the short term view for Monday and maybe Tuesday has just bounced back from the lower range and we can also draw a new upper range inside the range. If on Monday the 1st 4 hour candle will close above the new upper range we will see it go up till the upper range of the big channel before possible going back down. This move up will take about 3 candles maybe 4 which equals 12-14 hours.
In short:
4 hour time frame, 1st candle 4 hour candle of the week close above the new upper range (teal) we see it go up before going down. Since this can take 3-4 candles we will see the Dollar Index going up at the first half on the day before eventually retracing back down because it bounced of the upper range of the big channel.
Daily time frame, harde to predict. A lot will depend on Mondays close. For now I will go for a bounce back up in the smaller range up to the upper range of the big range. Of course when the lower range of the small range breaks price will at least go down to the support level. So we probably see the first 2-3 days of the week the dollar index going up before retracing back down at the end of the week.

Dollar Index's future depends on this week I had no intention of publishing this analysis yesterday as I thought Dollar Index (DXY) would continue its consolidation mode for several days. However, when I saw 4-hour chart close above the drawn ascending triangle, I had to publish this analysis.
For the past several days, I've been watching this Index as this is one of the keys on trading Dollar pairs. Understanding the behavior of the Index is one of a must for Forex traders -- even commodity traders. Close above this ascending triangle may also become a false breakout. So, watch out!
Dollar Index Preparing Next BreakdownThe past days the Dollar Index has been touching the lower range, it lackek bullish momentum to bounce back up cancelin the 5th wave. ADX shows that the bearish trend is still strong while the Stoch Rsi still indicates strong sell pressure. Because of this we can assume that the Dollar Index will break-out of the lower range next week.
Possible targets 98 and 97. Please note that on allot of Dollar pairs you see setups against the dollar, so this alligns with the bearish setup on the Dollar index.
Dollar index topped out??The dollar's had a great bull-run, but it looks like we may have reached the top. If we begin to consolidate strongly, look out for weakness at the bottom of the dip as that may present an excellent buying opportunity.
