  • US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
  • Support: 11489, 11434, 11346
  • Resistance:11577, 11648, 11719

The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index pushed higher for a third consecutive day but negative RSI divergence casts doubt on follow-through. A daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci expansionat 11577 exposes the 50% level at 11648. Alternatively, a reversal below the 11489-522 area marked by the December 8 top and the 23.6% Fib opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% expansion at 11434.

Our long-term fundamental 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.
