Dollar Index (DXY) – Bearish Minor 5 – Trend Continuation

Dollar Index (DXY) bounced off the Reversal Area pointed out in the previous Dollar-Index-DXY – Market Crash Road Map – Full Elliott Wave Cycle” and commenced the Corrective Pattern for Minor 4 (red).

Reversal also posted on previously in "USD Reversal - Metals Correction - FX Majors Weaker"

It seems like the Dollar Index (DXY) is approaching what is called the “Golden Section” in Elliott Wave Analysis which could act as a Point of Interest or Vibration Level, drawing the Price Action towards it as a magnet. Golden Section usually acts as Trend Continuation Levels, in the Dollar’s case a Bearish Trend Continuation for Minor 5 (red).

If the above would be correct, then the Dollar Index (DXY) could resume the Dominant Trend and finalize Minor 5 (red) and with it the entire Intermediate (C) leg (turquoise), thus completing the Cycle in Primary Wave A (blue).
