However, even the implication that the Fed’s next rate hike after this week could be several months off could be enough to dampen near-term enthusiasm for the dollar and ETFs like UUP.

“Using history as a guide, Ruskin and Saravelos suggest that in real terms against a basket of currencies, the US dollar has tended to fully recover prior declines, with rallies traditionally occurring over a shorter period than the weakening cycles they have followed. Based on past relationships, it suggests that the bull market in the US dollar will probably run for a further two years and result in gains of at least 10% based on their analysis,” according to Business Insider.
