Falling DXY Indicating a Long Buy for the GBP and EUR vs the USD Long

U.S. Dollar Currency IndexTVC

Description

There is a clear and obvious Head and Shoulders Pattern developing in the DXY or the US Dollar Index, (also referred to as the USDX).

This H&S Pattern was first evident in Nov 2016 when Trump won the US Elections and it is, currently, again making another appearance.

The Lower Arrow indicates 88, which is where the DXY fell to from the first occurrence of the H&S.

The Rising Trendline (marked in Green between the Upper and Lower Bounds) has been broken and I feel that it will fall substantially, after rising a bit from its current value.

All this implies a good run for the GBP and the EUR vs the USD, (in the case of the GBPUSD; a long trade till 1.3700 or even 1.4000 seems a fairly safe trade).

There is also an interesting side-effect of a falling DXY, and that is, a potential weak rise in US Equities based off the back of a weak US Dollar.

my take profit is currently 1.3700 on each gbpusd long

these are spreadbets and the stake is £10 on each bet

on the 20th of feb, the dxy surges finally ends and it sees to be turning southbound

Comment

the DXY finally turns just above the famous 2nd right shoulder from just below 99 and is now targeting the blue line to about 95.10.

the head&shoulders pattern is starting to play out perfectly and the DXY is heading south to about 88.
