On the 4-hour chart of USD Index we are looking at a three-wave correction in Wave 4) unfolding as a potential double zig-zag pattern. If so, then a final push lower is now here, which may find a low near at 100-100.60 area. An impulsive bounce from here and out of a downward channel would confirm a reversal.
