[As can be seen in the chart below] the U.S. Dollar has been trapped inside of a multi-year pennant pattern, which continues to narrow…[strongly suggesting that] the end of the pattern is near [one way or the other]!
So writes Chris Kimble (blog.kimblechartingsolutions.com) in edited excerpts from his original post entitled King Dollar…The End is near!.

Kimble goes on to say in further edited (and perhaps paraphrased in some places) excerpts:
[As mentioned in a post back on August 22nd] the U. S. Dollar continues to find a 9-year falling resistance line tough to break above. The small decline in the US$ of late has taken it [almost]down to a 2-year rising support line and driven bullish sentiment down along with it.

[Such a] pattern doesn’t usually tip its hat on the outcome/direction of the next big move, yet it usually pays to follow the breakout/breakdown. With the U.S. Dollar being trapped so long…the “ending of this pattern” could send important messages per portfolio construction for the upcoming months!
