My Idea

Looking at the H1 chart, we could see that the price which is moving lower has created a bearish trend pattern in the form of three lower highs, and lower lows which we may consider as evidence of bearish pressure. Generally, after a bearish trend pattern, we may expect corrections and then a further continuation lower. Currently, it looks like a correction is happening and in addition to this there are no signs opposing this short term bearish view at the moment. Also, we had two strong support zones that have formed, the price moved lower broke below these zones and is holding below them, we may consider this as yet another evidence of bearish pressure. Currently, these strong support zones are acting as strong resistance zones for us. Until these two strong resistance zones (marked in red) shown in the image below hold my short-term view remains bearish here and I expect the price to move lower further.

 

 

 

US Dollar Index H1(1 Hour) Chart Current Scenario

In US Dollar Index based on the above-mentioned analysis my short-term view was bearish and until the two strong resistance zones hold I was expecting the price to move lower further after pullbacks. The price action didn’t follow my analysis here and this idea failed. After the bearish trend pattern the price which was moving higher reached the second strong resistance zone. The price then moved higher further and we got a valid breakout above this strong resistance zone thus invalidating this short-term bearish view. My current view on US Dollar Index is neutral.

 

 

So, traders, this is why I wanted to show this example to help you understand why we should always trade based on the facts and hints provided by the market and take the right actions according to that. Even though we had various facts supporting the bearish view here, the price didn’t hold in the two strong resistance zones as I expected it to and broke above them, which is a contradictory sign provided by the market opposing the bearish view. Also, you should keep in mind that losses are part of trading we can’t expect every trade to go as per our plan and provide us profits. In trading, we can’t avoid losses but in order to be successful in trading, we should know how to cut losses early and how to manage the trade when the price goes in the opposite direction.
