EUR/USD V DXY : Monthly Levels, Ranges, Targets
|Every month since October 2015, DXY and EURUSD not only traded between respective 1 and 2 year monthly averages but topside compression was responsible for EUR/USD's drop from 1.1400 to 1.0522 and DXY's fall from 100. A massive shift is in development and it begins with DXY as DXY is now on the verge of a massive breakout higher. More importantly to a higher DXY is the ability for currency prices to finally, after 8 years, normalize. Normalization is a question of price location and critical to currency markets.
Lower DXY and EUR/USD prices were the result of both currency pairs to trade below monthly trend lines 1 to 10 years and every year in successive order. A situation of this magnitude is unhealthy to normal functioning currency markets but its a message to markets the lingering effects from 2008 remains. Healthy occurs when each pair separates and trades above or below trend lines.
EUR/USD currently trades below every trend line from 1 to 10 years while DXY trades above every trend line except the 5 and 8 year averages yet DXY is on the verge of a clean break higher. DXY and USD longs on a break higher will remain for years in the future.
