US DOLLAR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS – Prices turned lower as expected, carving out a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern and hinting at deeper pullback is ahead. Negative RSI divergence reinforces the case for weakness. Near-term support is at 10547, 14.6%Fibonacci retracement, with a daily close below that exposing the 23.6% level at 10528. Alternatively, a push above the 38.2% Fib expansion at 10582 clears the way for a test of the 50% threshold at 10606.

A further push beyond that aims for channel floor support-turned-resistance at 1997.20. Alternatively, a turn back below at 1963.70 targets the 23.6% Fib at 1937.10.
