US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Head-and-shoulders pattern in the making as 97.00 figure becomes strong resistance

The US Dollar Index (DXY) daily chart

  • DXY is trading in a bull trend above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).  
  • As it was expected, the 5-wave Elliot pattern sent DXY near 96.00 figure.  
  • If DXY fails to sustain prices above 97.00 in the coming days then 96.00 can be back on the table with a potential extension down to 95.00. On the flip side, a continuation past 97.00 should open the doors to 97.70.  

DXY 4-hour chart

  • DXY is finding resistance at the 50 SMA.  
  • Technical indicators are bullish. If bulls can break above 97.00 on a daily closing basis they have a chance to get to the 2018 high.
  • Otherwise, the head-and-shoulders pattern might enter into play and send DXY down.

DXY 30-minute chart

  • DXY broke above its main SMAs as the RSI and Stochastic indicators are in overbought territories.
  • 97.00 and 97.20 should act as very strong resistance.
