Highlights and themes

We recently saw US Dollar strength has moderated and now has moved sideways for the last six weeks. I still believe this can work higher based on the current daily and weekly charts. Add in the Dollar sentiment remaining above 50% despite the price weakness. Yen weakness continues with low volatility trading weaker vs USD. Risk of Euro and Pound declines remains with clear support levels. Crypto is overbought with some DeMark sell signals developing.

Currency Sentiment Overview

Currency sentiment highlights shows continued US Dollar strength despite the recent sideways/pullback.

US Dollar Indexes

DXY US Dollar Index daily has been going sideways in a range for 6 weeks. There is a pending secondary upside Sequential on day 8 of 13, so I believe this still has upside potential.

DXY US Dollar Index weekly has held 105 and if this continues higher a new Sequential upside Sequential could begin.

Bloomberg US Dollar Index daily has support at 1248 and resistance at 1280. The pullback was a corrective higher wave 4 of 5 pullback.

US Dollar bullish sentiment has held 50% level on this pullback which is a positive.
