IMHO: no relief until DXY breaks out

Stocks have rallied on renewed US stimulus hope but Forex remains pretty range-bound and I suspect this will remain the case until the DXY breaks out of its range-bound pattern.

 

Data: there isn’t much high impact news but watch today with the US Vice President’s Debate, US stimulus news and health updates about the US President.

 

Earnings:

 

DXY daily: Note the absence of momentum here! The index remains range-bound near the recently broken multi-year support trend line so watch for any momentum-based trend line breakout. IMHO: I don’t think we will see any decent trending across Forex pairs until there is a decisive breakout on this index:

 

Trend line breakouts:

ASX-200 4hr: this breakout has been choppy but note how the ADX supported this move. Watch for any push to the recent High.

 

USD/JPY 4hr: a small b/o thus far so watch 106 for any new make or break:
