The USDX paused the 4-day falling streak and gave a strong close after more than a month. After a 2-day consolidation, the price edged higher. The index is likely to make a double bottom at 93.13. The level of 93.13 is the 161.8FE entire fall from the peak. Resistance is seen at 94.60 and 95.35 100Dema and 100Dsma respectively. Technically, bearish views remain in play until the price closes below 100dema & sma. 20Dsma is found at 95.15. Ahead of the FOMC meeting, the greenback is trading higher against most majors and USD related pairs. Today, we expect 94.50 initially, later 94.70 and 94.90. Intraday support is found at 94.15 and 93.65. Earlier, we had recommended selling at 96.50 with targets at 93.00 and 91.50 in the near term. Yesterday, we cancelled the 91.50 view. In case the price closes below 93.13, the next support is seen at 91.50 and 90.50 200Dsma and 200Dema respectively.
