USD/Indx apears to be forming a triangle

Posted on March 25, 2009 at 8:49 in Uncategorized by Pierre Charlebois

I wrote yesterday that the USD/Index could be forming a triangle. Indeed it appears that this is the case. The triangle is not symmetrical however it is forming following a strong thrust which is the correct position.

The triangle itself should have 5 waves as its internal pattern. At this time, it is difficult to clearly see if it is best counted as 3 waves or 5. So whether it is complete is still subjective. The other thing I am observing is the confluence of several trend-lines and barriers and I am watching to see if the price action will challenge 84.50 one more time.

These triangles usualy give way to continuation. Do remember however that sometimes what looks like a tirangle may in fact be a combination of patterns that is not yet complete and the triangle patterns fails.
