US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls booking some profits after DXY tests 2018 high

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) is losing some steam as it is pulling back after the spike up on Thursday. It is currently testing the 23% Fibonacci retracement of the last leg up from yesterday.  
  • DXY tested the 2018 high at 95.03 but failed to break above it. Although it is too early to call a top this can potentially be the last desperate attempt by USD bulls before a protracted DXY correction.
  • Support is likely expected at the 94.44 June 1, swing high and then at the 94.00 figure. As we are heading towards the weekend some investors are  booking some profits.
