The dollar printed a bullish reversal on Monday then formed a swing low and closed back above the 200 day MA on Tuesday to indicate that day 26 was the daily cycle low. The dollar delivered bullish follow through by closing above the 10 day MA on Friday. Currently, the dollar is in a daily downtrend and will remain so unless it closes back above the upper daily cycle band.
The dollar has printed its lowest point this week, following the week 10 peak. This was week 17, which is early for an intermediate cycle low. The trade war and global currency manipulation has caused the dollar’s cycles to become irregular so a 17 week ICL is certainly possible. The dollar printed a bullish weekly candle off support from the 50 week MA. So if a weekly swing low forms, that would indicate that week 17 was the intermediate cycle low. A break above 97.68 will form a weekly swing low. The dollar currently is in a weekly uptrend. The dollar will continue in its weekly uptrend unless it closes below the lower weekly cycle band.
