DXY Strength - But A Trendline In The Way?The last two weeks we have seen some bullish moves with the Dollar which broke the DXY out of a low range. However on a weekly chart, we can see it has now reached a descending trendline around the 93.00 level. Could this be a bit of a make or break move for the Dollar? With a break to the upside and push towards previous 2017 highs or a rejection and downside move to test 87.00 area.

Up Down Up DownThe Dollar Index has been stuck in this wedge pattern since the beginning of 2018. After a large fall from the 95.00 area it seems to have stalled and now deciding on whether to continue pushing down, or prove this wedge pattern is the bulls getting ready to go! Between 90.50 and 80.50 seem to be keen bounce areas for price to reverse so keep an eye for a a strong rejection / break of these levels...
DXY to continue lower from these levelsDXY is looking to continue lower from current consolidation levels. We broke head and shoulders from my recent chart and now have been in a downwards channel and broke below that as well. On USDCAD news this morning, we didn't see the dollar push up any on a nearly150 pip spike in USDCAD pair and now USDCAD is about to breach 1.24. I continue to see weakness in DXY continuing.
What's in store for USD in Q2... time to choose our side!Firstly congratulations to those who took shorts on the previous idea (please see attached), very well done for clearing all targets on the handle.
We are rolling with the dollar holding 100.xx post FED - we need to keep in sync with the dollhair to make our next few months a lot easier and it will separate the men from the boys, having a crystal clear map will be invaluable.
OK so with that in mind, lets draw our maps moving forward;
As long as strong prints on the macro front continue, then as will Trump's Honeymoon be extended with tax cuts being tracked like a hawk by smart money. The initial knee jerk rally is over as markets have begun to demand more since Trumpcare fell through.. In any event, there are many doors still open, if not tax cuts then we have huge infrastructure and if all else fails there is always defence (or "attack").
What we now need to track is the pullback we find ourselves in... there is plenty of room either side here, what I aim to do by publishing this idea is to start the discussion and place for us here to track and put in context over the next Q and current leg.
Our options are as follows;
a. BUY above 102.xx -> TP 109.xx
b. SELL below 98.xx -> TP 92.xx
c. sidelined, waiting for things to become clearer
d. No idea
DXY shortHi Seildev here.
This looks remarkably similar to the DXY slip in May this year.
- Point A shows the attempted recovery from 18th/May ~ 19th/May however fell lower within a day
- Point B shows similar patterns which shows recovery however will fall within a day.
Projected high move to hit 96.44 and fade.
Projected DXY to be 94.5 by end of this month. DXY has been avoiding patterns and showing impulse movements to bait retail traders which in turn reverses after 24 hour period. This is the new day of Q3 and start of new financial quarter which psychologically may portray a "fresh start" image for the heavily fading US dollar in the past quarter. I believe this would be a fake out and will reverse within 96.2 ~ 96.4 down to 94.5 by the end of this month.
Please trade with care. This is only my opinion from backtesting.
DXY Seems bullish today news are commingToday many Events From USA like

Firstly apologies guys for not posting many ideas recently, I have been up to my eyeballs working on other projects alongside our private trading group.
The neckline was broken on the head and shoulders around the 100 level indicative of further decline toward the 98 handle.
Provided the DXY remains below the right shoulder highs and 50d moving average of 101-101.50, this technical top pattern remains influential and bearish in the near term.
96 is there as underlying support with extension targets of 110, 121 and 130
Thanks for all of your support, please remember to like and comment your views!
USD on News Week Views News Week ahead so expecting USD toward 104 if hold above 100.5. Where breakage of 100.5 may call for 99-99.5
