Futures and options trading contain substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors.

The purpose of today’s chart and blog is to show that the U.S. Dollar Index has reached the first of the significant Fibonacci retracement levels. The chart above depicts the spot U.S. Dollar Index and the levels we find most important to be aware of concerning Fibonacci retracements. Those prices are approx.: 7681; 7630; 7580.45. They represent the .382, .500 and .618 Fib retracement levels as calculated from the November 26 low of 7417 to the December 22 high of 7844.9.

Traders believing, for example, that the U.S. Dollar has potential to move higher versus the basket of other currencies may want to use these price levels to help determine when or how to initiate positions.

Fibonacci retracement levels can also be determined for the various other currencies such as the Euro Currency for example. Some market participants might prefer this if their opinion or analysis suggests that one such as the Euro might perform particularly weak as compared to the U.S. Dollar over a certain period of time.

This is something that we frequently discuss and strategize with our clients. If interested in finding out more from us please send an email or call. Our Trade Focus is also available by weekly email. Sign-up is available through this blog as well.
