In my opinion, both will encounter turbulence to advance further, but look at the bright side, both will form another support level/zone which is necessary to continue bullish. Looking at the chart, DJI and SP500 may form support in this…

USDX already penetrated 79-79.71 support zone. The reversal looks like a V-shape reversal. To have a sustainable downtrend, in theory, USDX needs to form a resistance level or consolidate for a while.

The next support zone will be 77.92-78.11.

On the daily charts 1.0730 is a strong resistance area. Watch this zone for potential sell signals with the help of price action.

The ongoing developments gave glimmer of hope that boosted overall market…
