    Default USD Index

    Is the range about to break?

    update of big piccy - nicely defined Regression Trend Channel, with index prodding the major trendline again. Good one to watch in case we have a breakout for USD. Bottom of RTC meets trendline this week....should be a defining moment.....

    quoteosted 4/11 in the chitchat thread

    The USD Index has had a daily close above the longer term resistance line for the first time this year.

    I'm wondering if we are about to enter a trending market at last, but plenty of time for confirmation - a weekly close above 90.50 would be nice, but will wait to see what the market tells us on that score


    First daily, now weekly close well above T/L. Monday should be interesting

    I watched a video on Elliotwave.com this morning re a USD rally with an EW count on the index. It opened the possibility that the index was bullish given a 5 wave count off the bottom, but he ultimately discounted this interpretation unless it confirms with new and strong highs in which case this would be a wave 3. I'll put some pictures or a link up later if anyones interested.

    Thanks Peat

    Very interesting....are you taking a trial subscription ?

    It would also be interesting to see how they do on the currencies.

    regards - arco

    interestingly I've been looking for this thread and not only is it about the USD index but its EWI and Prechter getting mentioned.
    Bob is calling a major bottom for the USD now... and he might be right but the butterfly B point is at 62% retracment and not at 78.
    D certainly bounces off 127 nicely tho.
    the cloud weighs heavy above but it is thinning out when it gets easier to break through huh? - there is lots of historical resistance at 79.5 - 80 and none of the ichi moo cow indicators have bellowed - so strictly speaking hasnt confirmed in any way.

    given that we cant trade the index what actual pair is the strongest component of the index ?

    hi Peat , this is composition of dollar index which is dominated by euro, which i suppose makes sense as its representative of 15 countries.

    That'll be coz the market is also selling JPY crosses Peat, so not too surprising
