Dollar Index Trades Within A Descending Triangle: Is It Time For A Downward Breakout



The Dollar in the daily timeframe has since being trading within a descending triangle. A descending triangle is a bearish formation that usually forms during a downtrend as a continuation pattern but occasion serves as a reversal pattern at the end of an uptrend.

The uptrend in the index has thus failed to trade surpass the 103.83 high reached on 03/01/2017 as a result we continue to see lower highs at 102.25 and 101.34 while it finds support at 99.41. 



Currently the index is trading around the support with RSI 14 day period trending down.

A steep sell-off would surface when the dollar closes below resistance turned support at 99.12 on high volume. On the other hand a resistance to go below the support level would see the index maintain her ranging behavior within the triangle until a breach above the downward trendline to ascertain a renewed uptrend.

Happy Trading Day
