Forex and the U.S. Dollar
The U.S. Dollar Index is the backbone of forex trading. The bulk of the trades involves buying or selling the U.S. dollar. Understanding the movements of the individual market will greatly benefit forex traders as they will be able to better predict the movements of the pairs based on the IDX market movement.
Key levels and market movements:
With the holiday this week, there won’t be a lot of big moves. But instead, it will be more about range trading. It’s at a make or break area in a tight channel around that 89 area. But just looking at the Predictive RSI, the dollar is under a lot of pressure.
What do the indicators say?
The VantagePoint key level is at 89.435 and the VantagePoint PRSI is at 22.9.
Forex Weekly Outlook for Major Pairs
