US Dollar Index Trading Strategy As At August 15, 2015


The US Dollar Index will certainly affect the trading strategies of the several currency pairs that make up this basket.

There is much discussion in the United States and elsewhere as to when interest rates may start to move higher and that will certainly affect all of the currencies.

Lets have a look at several charts and see what clues we can discover as to what may be a future direction.

This first chart has the Macd and a quick glance shows a bearish divergence. You will see that there is quite an amount of Bearish influence showing as you glance at these charts.




This next chart, a daily chart shows a bearish Fibonacci Pattern which seems to confirm the bearish divergence on the Macd.



Now we have the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo chart showing that price is above the cloud. It may be that the cloud is going to provide support and prevent much of a movement south, perhaps a few ranging days are ahead.



Another Bearish Fibonacci Pattern on the monthly chart.




We can see on this chart that price is below the pivot and has been fluctuating above support, directionless, so far.



Price has moved below the weekly pivot and also below the monthly pivot.




Here is more discussion by several authors. You will see a variance in expectations as to direction.
