Major update to an older post. DXY is approaching monthly support and will soon make a decision on whether or not it moves back up to 105 -> 112 and above.
RSI is diverging bullish, and also maintaining a long-term uptrend, thus far. This could indicate that monthly support holds and we see a strong move up soon.
On the other hand, should it lose monthly support and its RSI uptrend, there's not a whole lot of room for it to move down much further than the previous lows around 89-90. Either way, this would look like an incredibly weak attempt at re-testing the long-term falling wedge it broke out of as it formed the "W" shown above.
Regarding how this relates to market recoveries:
- I'd love to see it drag out and remain below 105 for recoveries to continue longer, or even lose monthly support @ ~99 for a really strong recovery
- However, in either scenario, whether holding monthly support or moving down near 89-90 or somewhere in between -- I expect recoveries will be ending soon when it does move back up, and if/when it reclaims 105 and 112, and moves higher, we're likely in for a pretty strong bear market.
