US Dollar: Mind the scallopsScallops are broad patterns as shown in the chart. Whilst de-dollarisation is happening at a slow macroeconomic pace, coming from Russia, China and Japan (largely), it doesn't mean that the US Dollar will simply roll over. The pattern of the scallops is quite visible. Now the US-Dollar is at a critical point and making attempts to do another scallop. I don't assume that each scallop will be less prominent than the previous. Overall the trend from April 2018 seems to be weakening but I make no assumptions that in the short term (next few weeks) the US-Dollar will not bounce north. US-Dollar strength is broadly inversely correlated with commodities, metals and US-stock-markets - whilst affecting the strength of other currencies indirectly. The pattern is useful in terms of assessing other positions in the markets both on Stock Markets and Forex.

US Dollar Index Macro View 23/12 - Merry ChristmasThere is no surprise that Federal Reserve rate hike, US Dollar Index rallied after. Investor were looking for Fed Chair Powell dovish tone but his comments came out optimistic. The dollar rose despite the fact that 10-year Treasury yields dropped. Small adjustment in the statement on lowered growth and inflation forecast, these changes were not significant to push the dollar lower. Fed Chair Powell’s comments that he made it clear that nothing is predetermined and everything is data dependent but he also said the sharp decline in US equities and tightening of financial market conditions has not fundamentally altered their outlook. The Fed still plan to raise interest rates in 2019 and most policy makers expect the economy to grow. However, if the bond market continues to fall, it will be difficult for the dollar to sustain its strength. The US Dollar Index chart did not change last week ranging between 12330 & 12260 levels.

US DOLLAR INDEX - SUPPLY AND DEMAND ZONE ANALYSISWhenever you are looking at a technical level, always ask yourself the following: - Am I buying at a potential bargain/wholesale/discount price? (supply or demand zones) - Why is there more likely to be more supply/demand orders at that area? (new traders entering/traders taking profit at horizontal, diagonal & dynamic support/resistance areas) - What are the underlying fundamental/sentiment drivers that should push price in my favour? (interest rates, business cycle, risk on/risk off) If all 3 are in your favour, take the trade, manage your risk and go for more than you've risked. Always remember this trade is only 1 trade in the next thousand you're going to take. Process over outcome!

US DOLLAR INDEX - SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONE ANALYSISHi Traders, Is it time to short the dollar at the supply zone? well, from a fundamental perspective, the dollar is still king. The fed still looking likely to hike interest rates and the economy is still on track. Compare the US economy with recent Japan GDP figures, uncertainty around Brexit and Italian budget worries and you'll see that it's not a wise move to short the dollar at the moment. From a technical perspective, the level of supply that price has reached has been touched a couple of times so is likely to break. support and resistance traders (purple zone) believe that the more a level is touched the stronger a level becomes, which is false. price can reverse at this level but the question you have to ask is shorting the usdollar (on other usd crosses) is the right trade opportunity?
