The Dollar index remains in downtrend. Prices are making lower lows and lower highs. I’ve been bearish since 80.90 and the index has given us many sell signals since then. Price has remained in a downtrend and even when it consolidated in a sideways triangle, the price broke downwards. The 38% Fibonacci retracement has been supporting the index but now is broken and we look to move lower towards the 61.8% retracement.

Our first short-term target was 80 and has been reached. Price is below the Ichimoku cloud and below the red donward sloping trend line. We remain bearish targeting at least 79.90 and why not 79.75. Support is found at 79.90 and resistance at 80.30.

The Dollar index has finally broken below the 38% retracement and is heading towards my target of the Ichimoku cloud upper boundaries that I’ve been talking for so long. I believe this downward move could reach the 61.8% retracement.
