Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

Short Term Elliott Wave View on Dollar Index (DXY) suggests that rally to 104.63 ended wave ((4)). This completed cycle from 9.27.2024 low and the Index should either resume lower in wave ((5)) or pullback in 3 waves at least. The Index has started to turn lower and we are calling the move lower from wave ((4)) high as a diagonal 5 waves. Down from wave ((4)), wave (i) ended at 103.98 and wave (ii) ended at 104.43. Wave (iii) lower ended at 103.82, wave (iv) ended at 104.19, and wave (v) lower ended at 103.68. This completed wave ((i)) in higher degree. Rally in wave ((ii)) ended at 104.35.

Index resumed lower in wave ((iii)) towards 103.63 and wave ((iv)) ended at 103.83. Final leg wave ((v)) ended at 103.57 which completed wave 1 in higher degree. Wave 2 rally is in progress with internal subdivision as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Up from wave 1, wave ((a)) is expected to end soon, then it should pullback in wave ((b)), before the Index rallies higher again in wave ((c)). This will complete wave 2 in higher degree before the Index resumes lower. As far as pivot at 104.63 high stays intact, expect rally to fail in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further downside.
