The index has already surpassed its fibonacci extensions past 100.00 as highlighted on the chart. The last leg has already extended and is now producing a bearish divergence on the daily RSI, which indicates a potential trend reversal.

The US dollar index is now seen to be trading around 103.70 and it is expected to break below 102.30 in the near term. It would then be confirmed that bears are back in control and are here to stay. Aggressive traders might be willing to initiate fresh short positions with risk above 105.00 mark.
