US Dollar Index: Bulls need a boost or else Head-and-Shoulders and break below 100-simple moving average can hurt DXY

  • The US Dollar Index is trading in a bull trend but DXY has made no progress since late May.
  • DXY bulls are managing to support the market just above 94.43-45 the August 28 swing low and the  100-day simple moving avearge (SMA).  
  • However, the head-and-shoulders pattern (bearish) along with the negative readings on the RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators would require  strong action from the bulls in order for the market to not continue sliding down below 94.43-45.
