DXY – NYBOT Dollar Index (Last:77.99)

Considering that the Dollar Index broke down decisively in early August by smashing the watershed low at 77.69 recorded nearly nine months earlier, the action recently has been pretty copacetic. It suggests that the dollar is being easily supported at these levels, but only because there are no sellers bold enough to challenge the central banks’ resolve. If and when that happens — signaled, perforce, by a two-day close beneath 77.54 — the futures will be on their way down to at least 75.57, the nearest Hidden Pivot of significance on the daily chart.  Otherwise, it’ll take a pop to 89.90 to turn this chart bullish for the first time since last February.
