“There may be little indication from the charts that the USD progress is peaking—short-term development momentum is bullish and worth motion stays constructive—however the mid-1.37 zone is about the place I’ve anticipated higher USD promoting strain to emerge. Technically, the actual resistance zone stretches from 1.3775 by way of 1.3785 (100-week MA) to 1.38 (the late June excessive which was slightly below the determine, in actual fact). Help is 1.3725/30.”
