The US dollar index continues to trade above support at 98.80, but I believe it is forming a bearish wedge. We could see a higher high today or tomorrow, but I expect this pattern to be broken downwards towards 97.

Blue line -medium-term trend line support

Red lines - bullish channel

In the short-term, prices are held above both the cloud and trend-line support. The bullish channel we are in is well defined, so a close below 98.70 will be a clear confirmation of bearish reversal. This will imply 97 will have high chances to be tested.

Blue lines - bearish wedge

The daily chart shows a bearish wedge pattern which is being formed just above daily cloud support at 98.80. If this support fails to hold, we should expect the price to test support at 98.40 initially and then most probably move even lower. I am bearish on the US dollar as long as we are below 100.50.
