Dollar hits one-year high as Fed signals more hikes — ride the currency momentum
Created
Thesis
The US dollar is gaining strength because interest rates in America are expected to stay higher than in Europe and Japan. When the dollar enters a phase like this, global money tends to flow into US cash. With the Fed signaling more rate hikes and the European economy lagging, this trend has clear fuel to keep pushing the dollar higher.
Strategy approach
Build a trend-following strategy that enters long UUP (US Dollar Index ETF) on the daily timeframe when it breaks above its 20-day high. Exit conditions: trailing stop of 2%, or exit if RSI(14) crosses below 60.
