DXY Make or Break

29 Apr 2019

Last week saw the breaking of the key resistance for the U.S. Dollar (DXY) of 97.68 to hit our upside target of 98.22 published back in March before being rejected. This was important to all the wins we bagged last week and will also be taken into consideration for the trades coming up this week. We're bearish short term for the week ahead, as there are many fundamental data releases due so it will be not only an interesting week but it should be pretty fun one; win or loose. The FOMC meeting on Weds. will be the star event of the week, and will move the Dollar index significantly. My guess, is that the dollar will melt to the downside back into the DXYs range, as posted on my TradingView last week. This FOMC meeting will simply be the catalyst to confirm the technicals that are ever so obvious to us here at Alchemy FX. We could see our USD/CHF target hit in a single candle.
