US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Correction down likely to extend as DXY runs out of steam

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) bears are keeping the market below the 94.00 handle.  
  • DXY had a bull run since mid-April and hit a strong resistance level (November 2017 swing high) at the 95.00 handle last week.
  • DXY is showing signs of exhaustion and the correction lower should extend in the coming days as long as DXY stays below the 94.00-94.45 area.
