Technical outlook and chart setups:

The US dollar index printed another high at 98.84 levels last week before retracing lower. The index is trading at 98.70 levels for now, looking to drop lower further towards 97.60 and 97.30 levels at least. Please also note that 97.60 is immediate support while 97.30 is the Fibonacci 0.618 support of the rally between 96.40 and 98.85 levels as depicted here. The wave structure indicates that the index has completed 5 waves rally from 95.40 levels. It is now expected to drop lower in a corrective manner (3 waves) towards 97.60 levels at least. It is hence recommended to exit long positions and remain flat for now. Aggressive traders can go short now with stop at 98.90 targeting 97.60 levels. Immediate resistance is at 98.85 levels, while support lies at 97.60 levels.

Trading recommendations:

Remain flat for now. Aggressive traders may want to remain short, stop at 98.90, target 97.60

Good luck!
