DXY four-hour chart

 
 
DXY remains under selling pressure below the 97.25 resistance and the main SMAs. The market is challenging the 97.00 support. However, there is little chance bulls will be motivated to actively commit here as the overall context is turning increasingly bearish. Further down lie the 96.70, 97.50 and 97.25 price levels. On the flip side, resistances are seen near the 97.25, 97.55 and 97.85 levels.
