DXY may be Ready to Resume Move Higher

The US Senate and White House reach FINALLY reached a bi-partisan fiscal stimulus deal worth an estimated $2 trillion.

As global stock markets caught up to yesterdays closed in the US, the US Dollar began to pull back. However, on a 240-minute the DXY has already been consolidating in a pennant formation since reaching the 161.8% Fibonacci extension from the highs in mid-February to the lows on March 9^th. The consolidation is near a trendline dating back to May 2018. If the DXY does break higher from here, the target is near 109.80.

EUR/USD often trades the inverse to the DXY, as the Euro makes up almost 58% of the US Dollar Index. So, it would make sense to see a similar, opposite move in EUR/USD. On a 240-minute Price action in the EUR/USD has been moving lower since the highs on February 20^th, stalled on March 20^th, and began consolidating in a flag like formation. This too seems as its ready for its next move. If price does break lower out of the flag formation, the current target is near parity (1.0050). (EUR/USD can still move higher, as high as 1.1070 and still be in a valid flag formation, just note that from wherever price breaks lower from the flag, the flagpole needs to be adjusted to that breakdown point. )

The set-ups and resistance in these US Dollar pairs provide evidence that DXY may be headed higher. We have seen an extreme move off the lows on March 9^th from 94.60 to roughly 103. It’s hard to imagine we could see a move like that again soon. But then again, the way these markets have been moving over the last month, it is possible!
