VARAUSD - Updated Technical Analysis

As anticipated, price action broke through the middle band of the bollinger bands on the weekly and sadly did not produce a wick. Price action rejected off of the lower band placing us in a range bound movement again. While overall movement is sideways, with two red candles preceding this a green candle is stastically more likely and overnight on Sunday (tonight) will hopefully yield some movement out of USDX to the downside as I anticipate that this most recent market volatility is due to the over-active Federal Reserve board trying to shake things up prior to Trump taking office. It is no secret that the Board and Donald Trump do not see eye to eye and do not like each other. The thing is, these markets are hitting record volumes monthly. The entire market has pulled back which is a normal knee jerk reaction to the Fed loosening up on printing. I am in the banking sector professionally and know that the high rates have caused banks to fail and did very little to help slow inflation anyway. I do not foresee the rapid lowering of interest rates to do very much damage over the long run considering oil prices can be weaponized by the whitehouse to target high inflation, simply by making fuel dirt cheap inflation will go away. I would say, lets keep watching these order walls that are just below and above current price action within whatever order flow program you choose and lets see if that lower order wall moves up. I have a gut feeling that it is going to move up and when it does the price will level up.
