Blue lines – bullish channel

Short-term support is at 96.10 while resistance lies at 96.50. The Dollar index is trading above the short-term Ichimoku cloud and as long as the price is above 95.50, short-term trend will remain bullish. There is still no bearish divergence by the oscillators so we can still see at least one more new higher high towards 96.50 which is also weekly resistance.

The price remains below the cloud but above the important upward sloping trend line. The critical support is at 95.20 while the 96.50 remains weekly resistance.
