  • US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
  • Support: 11315, 11278, 11219
  • Resistance:11374, 11422, 11469

The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Indexedged higher for a fourth consecutive day, with buyers seemingly on pace to set a new year-to-date high. Near-term resistance is at 11374, the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 11422. Alternatively, a turn below the 23.6% Fib at 11315 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% expansion at 11278.

Our long-term US Dollar outlook calls for a broadly stronger US Dollar against its major currency counterparts. With that in mind, we are holding long via theMirror Trader US Dollar currency basket.
