Ichimoku cloud indicator analysis of USDX for January 31, 2018

The Dollar index remains in a bearish trend. Price got rejected at 89.60. Price is mainly moving sideways between 89.60 and 88.50. The Dollar index will most probably make a new lower low towards 88-87.50, but I believe this low should be faded. The FOMC tonight could give the Dollar index the final push lower. […]

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/NZD for January 31, 2018

Wave summary: EUR/NZD continues to follow the expected path to perfection. We expect that a minor support at 1.6803 will be able to protect the downside for a new impulsive rally above 1.6973 confirming more upside pressure towards 1.7065 on the way higher to 1.7360 and 1.7479. It will take an unexpected break below support […]
