FX: Another 350 pips last night & more Trump Triangles to watch

A chart posted here yesterday went on with the anticipated and stalked breakout to give around 350 pips. This is on top of the thousands of pips from stalked trades & charts posted in advance from earlier in the week noted here (over 1,000 pips on offer) and here (3,000 pips on offer). The US$ continues to struggle ahead of the Presidential Inauguration and I’m still watching for a clear technical signal of either continuation or reversal. This hesitation though is helping to shape some consolidation-style triangle patterns on a number of currency pairs.

USDX daily: a bearish H&S pattern still looks to be evolving here and respect of the ‘Shoulder’ at 102 would help to carve out a ‘lower High’ which would support reversal bias. Keep an eye on any break or respect of the 102 or 100 level to gauge the next directional move the US$ index. The Presidential Inauguration and any following commentary/activity could get this index moving:

Price action remains trapped within the Daily Ichimoku Cloud for now with the upper boundary acting as resistance and the lower as support:
