US Dollar Index D1(Daily) Chart Analysis – Strong Support Zone, Bullish Divergence, ADX Indicator
On the daily chart, the price which was moving lower reached a strong support zone where the psychological level 100 coincides, the price respected it and bounced higher from this zone. Also, we could see that the price which was moving lower has created a bullish divergence between the first low formed at 104.909 and the second low formed at 100.492 based on the MACD indicator, we may consider these as evidences of bullish pressure. In addition to this, the ADX indicator gave a bullish signal here, at the cross of +DI (green line) versus -DI (red line) and the main signal line (silver line) reads a value over 25, we may consider this as yet another evidence of bullish pressure. Also, currently, there are no signs opposing this bullish view. So everything looks good here for the bulls and we may now move down to lower timeframe and see if we can find evidences supporting this short term bullish view.
US Dollar Index H4(4 Hours) Chart Analysis – Bullish Divergence, Higher Highs, Downtrend Line Breakout
On the H4 chart, the price which was moving lower reached a strong support zone, respected it and bounced higher from this zone. Also, we had a bullish divergence that has formed between the first low that has formed at 101.377 and the second low that has formed at 100.492 based on the MACD indicator which we may consider as evidence of bullish pressure. The price then moved higher and broke above the high at 102.253 thus creating higher highs. Also, the price has broken above the most recent downtrend line and is currently holding above it, we may consider these as other evidence of bullish pressure. So based on all this, my short-term view remains bullish here and I expect the price to move higher further after pullbacks until the strong support zone (marked in green) shown in the image below holds.
