Some of the FOMC inspired breakout moves have continued but others have closed off with the pip tally from these combined moves reaching 6,760. Some FX pairs look like they’re back to consolidating in preparation for next week. Today is St Patrick’s Day but it is also the day the FX indices have shifted back into a classic style ‘risk on’ alignment and I’ll be watching for any continuation of this trend.
USDX: the US$ index is holding above 100 for now but has dipped back below the daily Cloud. This shift lower has put the FX indices into what I refer to as ‘risk on‘ alignment and you can read my views about the impact of FX Index alignment here. I would suspect that any break and hold below 100 for the USDX might accelerate the impact of this ‘risk on’ alignment.
