US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Prices may be carving out a near-term top after forming a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci retracementat 10618 exposes the 23.6% level at 10591. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib expansion at 10657 opens the door for a challenge of the 23.6% threshold at 10683.

Near-term support is in the 1985.30-91.40 area, marked by the July 24 high and the 50% level, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% Fib at 1963.70. Alternatively, a move above resistance aims for channel floor support-turned-resistance at 2013.00, followed by the top of the index’s long-term uptrend at 2027.50.
