FX.co ★ Trading plan for US dollar index for February 17, 2022

Technical outlook:

The US dollar index has drifted lower to 95.70 mark on Wednesday after facing resistance around the 96.30 mark. It is quite possible that the index has carved a lower high around 96.30 and is now preparing to break below 94.50 level. On the flip side a push through 96.30 would test 96.50-60 zone before turning lower again.

The US dollar index has carved a meaningful downswing between 97.37 and 95.00 levels as seen on the daily chart presented. The above is being retraced for now and possibility remains for a push through 96.50-60 zone before bears are back in control. The indice might be still working to complete the Up Gartley corrective structure towards 96.50.

Also note that 96.50-60 is also the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement of the above downswing between 97.37 and 95.00 levels. Probability remains for a sharp bearish reversal if prices manage to reach there. The overall structure continues to remain bearish until prices stay below 97.37 interim resistance, going forward.

Trading plan:

Potential push through 96.50 then lower towards 93.00 and 91.00

Good luck!
