The Dollar Index was contained inside an area of consolidation from January 2017 to June 2022 before finally breaking out to the upside above $103.
Price had a clean run producing strong bullish candles through to September 2022, moving from $103 to $114.
Exhaustion then crept into this asset, causing a decline in price, which was to be expected based on its history of deep pullbacks against the flow of the trend.
We are currently seeing a textbook pattern where price breaks out of consolidation and retests the consolidation area.
If this unfolds as expected, we should see a bounce from support and a resumption of the prior bullish move.
At the time of writing, December’s candle is displaying as an indecision candle, but as we are early in the month, the shape of the candle is likely to change.
If price moves up again, we will likely see volatility flow into a number of forex pairs producing opportunities to open positions in this market.
