As shown in the chart, FXCM US dollar index, which has moved into a range since July 20th, 2015 is now stands close to its range support.

Why stay cautious -

  • The current range of Dollar has survived FOMC rate decision, BOE minutes, ADP and NFP report and two Yuan devaluation from China.
  • Dollar bulls have been halted 6 times on the upside from breaking the range. Similarly Dollar bears have also been halted six times at range low.
  • FXCM dollar index now stands at 11980, at its range low.

Expectations ahead -

  • There aren't any economic dockets scheduled for today, which might prompt breakout or reversal, speaking from historical reference.
  • However, New York FED president William Dudley is scheduled to speak today at 12:30 GMT. Though his speech doesn't concern monetary policy, any cut off comments on Dollar or September hike might pose reversal.
