The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index is attempting to carve out a double bottom at 10375. Near-term resistance is at 10472, marked by the top of a falling channel that has guided the greenback lower since the beginning of the year. A break above that on a daily closing basis initially targets support-turned-resistance at 10495.

US Dollar Technical Analysis
Talking Points:

- Resistance: 10455 (channel top), 10495 (support-turned-resistance)
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index may be in the process of confirming a double bottom at 10375, the October 22 close. Confirmation of an upward reversal pattern requires a breach of resistance at 10455, marked by the top of a falling channel that has guided the benchmark currency downward since the beginning of the year. A daily close above this barrier initially targets horizontal support-turned-resistance at 10495.

US Dollar Technical Analysis
Talking Points:
- Support: 10474-95, 104434 (channel top)
- Resistance:10589-619
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index looks poised to continue higher having set a critical double bottom at 10375, the October 2013 floor. An upward trend change signaled by a break above resistance at the top of a falling channel set from January saw follow-through with a break of resistance in the 10474-95 area. The bulls now aim to challenge the 10589-619 region, with a move above that opening the door for an advance to year-to-date highs. Alternatively, a reversal back below 10474 eyes channel top support-turned-resistance at 10434.

Dropping beneath resistance-turned-support in the 10474-95 area has opened the door for a test of a trend-defining rising trend line set from July 2011 (now at 10430). A break below this threshold on a daily closing basis exposes a double bottom at 10375. Alternatively, a turn above 10495 clears the way for another challenge of 10531, the May 28 high.

Taking Advantage of the US Dollar Range Against the Swiss Franc
Range bound strategies have proven to be some of the best trading techniques for currency pairs like the USDCHF over the past few weeks, especially during the Asia session. DailyFX research has also found that trading during the Asia session using a range bound strategy on European currencies has been one of the most profitable approaches.
It is also important to note that volatility in the currency market is at multi-year lows, meaning that previously strong-moving pairs have materially slowed. To keep the odds shifted towards a favorable balance, traders may consider adjusting to these conditions by moving from breakout and trending strategies over to a consolidation or range-bound approach.
https://media.dailyfx.com/illustrati...y_FX_VIX_6.png
For newer traders it can take countless hours to accurately judgeprevailing market conditions. Moreover, it also takes time to perform effective analytics, like deciding which indicator to use and how to identify the strongest levels of support and resistance. Fortunately, FXCM has designed applications to streamline this process.
These levels can be best utilized in a ranging market by buying at support and selling at resistance. To help establish when the best time to trade is, FXCM created the Trading Sessions application, which highlights Asia market hours (as seen in the grey areas on the chart below).
When trading around these levels, it is also important to note critical event risk. Major changes in monetary policy expectations can cause market volatility, pushing prices through technical barriers as asset valuations realign to policy expectations.
USDCHF, 1-hour chart
https://media.dailyfx.com/illustrati..._SUPPRES_6.png
The strategy works as follows:
On 6/11/14 USDCHF was trading just below the R1 resistance level at 0.9005 (top left of chart) during the Asia session. The pair continued to trade in a narrow range until 6/12/14 when price action met resistance at R1 again and then proceeded to move down to 0.8964, where support was found on 6/13/14 (as reference by the white dashed line). The move was roughly 40 pips.
From 6/13/14 to 6/16/14 the price shot up from support at 0.8964 on a near-90 degree trajectory back to R1 where it traded around for several hours leading into the Asia session on 6/16/14. That was another 40 pip move.
On 6/16/14 the USDCHF traded back down to 0.08964, where it held once again on 6/17/14. As the market continued to oscillate, it seemed reasonable to suspect another move up to 0.9005, which played out as advertised today.
The strategy of buying at support and selling at resistance would continue until prices break and hold above R1 or below 0.8964. If the market breaks below 0.8964, the next level of support would be set at 0.8945, or S1.

US Dollar Technical Analysis
Talking Points:
- Support: 10409, 10375, 10323
- Resistance:10474-95, 10531, 10589
The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index continues to find itself in a precarious position as prices test multi-year trend support set from July 2011. This barrier (now at 10417) is reinforced by a falling channel bottom at 10409. A daily close below that would suggest a major reversal is in progress and initially expose double bottom support at 10375, followed by the June 2012 high at 10323.Resistance remains in the 10474-95 area, with a move above that clearing the way for another challenge of the May 28 high at 10531.

The Dow Jones FXCM US Dollar Index is struggling to build upward having reversed higher as expected after producing a Bullish Engulfing candle pattern. Buyers are testing resistance in the 10442-56 area, marked by the July 3 high and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. A break above that on a daily closing basis exposes the 38.2% level at 10513. Alternatively, a below rising trend line support at 10426 targets the July 9 low at 10392, followed by a triple bottom in the 10354-75 area.

USDOLLAR Flirting with 50% Retracement of 2014 Drop
Daily
https://media.dailyfx.com/illustrati..._Picture_1.png
-After flirting with the line that extends off of the 2011 and 2012 lows for 3 weeks, the USDOLLAR found legs and trades just shy of the 50% retracement of the year’s range and 200 SMA. The bullish outside month in July is a good way for long term USD strength to resume but the current level likely inspires consolidation / pullback. Expect 10470 to hold if the larger trend is indeed higher.
