US$ hits some resistance

The US$ stalled at resistance to start the week but traders should watch to see how the DXY reacts to today’s FED Chair Powell testimony. My weekend update contained many bullish-reversal descending wedges on Forex pairs and all of these delivered mean-reversion moves to some extent. The GBP/USD ended up being one of the cleanest and best breakout moves.
