The Dollar index remains supported and bulls still have lots of chances of pushing higher towards 82. The longer-term pattern looks like a bullish flag or pennant and this gives us a target of 83-84. This scenario will be valid as long as the Dollar index remains above 81.30.
The short-term trend remains neutral as price is moving sideways. Bulls are on the safe side as long as price trades above the Ichimku cloud at 81.45 and as long as support lows at 81.35 are not broken. On the other hand, bears want to see another price rejection near 81.70 and a push through the thin Ichimoku cloud support.
The Dollar index has broken out of the upward sloping channel in the daily chart. However, the current price pattern starts to look similar to a bullish flag. This pattern if broken upwards gives me a target of 83-84 in the medium term. However, if price closes below 81.35, this bullish scenario will be canceled.
