Day trading strategy for dollar index

The dollar index trading in a
wide price wedge this morning all the way at the highs of the range just below
the PHOD.  We consider this to be a
buyers failure above the PHOD and we call it now an ‘inside trading day’ which
means that price should come down lower after those sellers took control at the
highs.  We are going to use the dollar
index correlation to make educated decisions with the markets we trade
today.  As the dollar index falls off
these highs we will see buying opportunities on other markets.
With that said, news out Europe overnight
has made the market sentiment bearish, so the idea of rising prices on other
markets, and a falling dollar index may be a little out of the possibilities
today however we need to be prepared for everything.  We know the dollar index can move three
possible ways today;  sideways, higher,
or lower.  If we rise higher we run into resistance,
so that’s not that friendly, and if we trade sideways we’re on top of the PHOD and
trend line and we know this is going to be sloppy today.  If price falls off these highs then we have a
BIG wide open space below us with lots of opportunity for us to profit.

The 55 and 89 range charts both show us lots of
overhead resistance which tells us the high-percentage trades is using a
falling dollar index so we’re looking to buy today for the possible biggest
moves.  The 21 range chart shows us the
2-step short pattern just about ready to trigger off the highs and when that
does be ready to buy pullbacks on the markets you’re trading.
