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

Technical outlook:

The US dollar index has dropped through 98.40 intraday today after carving a lower high around 99.30 levels early this week. The index has also carved another Evening Star bearish candlestick pattern on the daily chart as expected. Ideally, prices should continue to drag lower from here and a drop below 97.70 will accelerate further.

Furthermore, if the US dollar index bears are successful in holding prices below 99.45 mark, we might withess a steep fall towards 94.50 in the next few trading sessions. A break there will also confirm that bears are back in control and are here to stay for long. On the flip side, if a more complex corrective structure unfolds, prices might print above 99.30 before finding resistance.

The US dollar had earlier carved a meaningful larger degree downswing by dropping from 104.00 through 89.20 levels. The entire drop has now been retraced through its fibonacci 0.618 level seen around 99.45 mark. If the above structure holds well, bears will remain inclined to drag prices below 89.20 to complete the structure.

Trading plan:

Potential drop through 94.50 against 100.00

Good luck!
