Big rally on the Dollar after the NFP numbers

Today we had the highly anticipated Non-Farm Payrolls number out of the US. The reading of new jobs created for the month on October came out much better than expected, causing the Dollar to rally versus its major peers. It was forecasted a reading of 180K new jobs, but the reading actually came out at 271K new jobs. The unemployment rate fell from 5.1% to 5% and the average hourly wages rose 0.4% when the forecasted was a rise of 0.2%. The numbers clearly came out way better than expected, and actually this has been the best reading since 2009. The Dollar index broke above the 98.39, but if it retraces, that level could act as support. Its next resistance could be the 100.28.
