FX.co ★ Trading plan for US Dollar Index for August 31, 2021

Technical outlook:

The US dollar index has dropped below 92.50 today, taking out initial support there. Bears seem to have completed their move for now as bulls might be preparing for a counter trend rally towards 93.20 levels in the next few days. Also note that 93.20/25 is the fibonacci 0.618 retracement of the recent drop between 93.73 through 92.50 levels respectively. High probability remains for prices to push through that zone.

The US dollar index is looking to retrace the entire rally between 89.50 and 93.72 as seen on the chart here. The fibonacci 0.618 retracement is seen towards 91.00 mark, converging with trend line support as well. The index is unfolding as a corrective drop towards 91.00 and might have completed its first leg between 93.72 and 92.50 levels.

High probability remains for a corrective rally towards 93.20/25 to terminate the second leg, before resuming lower towards 91.00 levels. Immediate support is seen below 92.20, while resistance is found around 92.25 levels respectively.

Trading plan:

Potential for a drop towards 92.00 and 91.00, against 93.72.

Good luck!
