Talking Points:

• US Dollar Technical Strategy: Holding Long via Mirror Trader Basket **

• Support: 11888, 11829, 11792

• Resistance: 11937, 11985, 12044

The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index advanced as expected after prices put in a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is at 11937, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 11985. Alternatively, a move below the 38.2% Fib at 11888 opens the door for a challenge of the 23.6% level at 11829.

We remain broadly bullish on the US Dollar against its leading counterparts in line with our long-term fundamental outlook. As such, we remain long via the Mirror Trader US Dollar currency basket.
