Closed below resistance - Where to next?
Since it latest decline from the bearish Gartley pattern, $DXY managed to recover some of it losses and in fact completed a 61.8 Fib retracement.
$DXY is just below its 50 SMA line and above the Major structure zone near 97 and that could be a zone to start looking for counter USD setups.
But.. During the last two trading days (last week), $DXY was able to climb above a minor downtrend line and close above it, possibly breaking out of the Pennant pattern (continuation pattern).
Another bullish signal is that $DXY is still above its 200 SMA line after the latest false break.
So to sum it up we have three reasons to be bearish (61.8-78.6 retracement, Major structure and the 50 SMA line) and 2 reasons to be bullish (Price above 200 SMA line, Pennant breakout)
$DXY is being squeezed between its 200 SMA line and its 50 SMA line in a similar way that we recently saw $SPY being squeezed (just before AUG breakdown).
A close above 97.5 could lead to a rally towards 100 - That's the bullish scenario.
The stop loss must be at least below 95.
If the price will remain below 97, it will allow to short it with stop loss above 98.
