The very long term implication of QE in theory should mean gradual devaluation of US dollar.
However in the short term there are a lot of implicit factors supporting the dollar, things like commodities or international trade are dollar denominated and a lot of dominant forces stand to gain from dollar remaining at elevated levels. Also the US dollar is considered as a safe haven of sorts to park money in times of uncertainty.
