Talking Points:

  • US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **
  • Support: 11960, 11898, 11836
  • Resistance: 12037, 12149, 12214

The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index continued to press upward, hitting the highest level in over a month. Near-term resistance is at 12037, the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the March 13 high at 12149. Alternatively, a reversal below the 61.8% Fib at 11960 opens the door for a challenge of the 50% retracement at 11898.

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 the Mirror Trader US Dollar currency basket.
