US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Bulls support DXY above 100-day simple moving average for second consecutive day

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) is trading in a bull trend but the Greenback has made no progress since late May.
  • DXY has formed a head-and-shoulder bearish pattern while it is trading below the 50-day simple moving average and the bull trendline (blue line). Bulls are  supporting the market just above the 94.43-51 zone (August 28 swing low and 100-day simple moving average) for the second consecutive day. The RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are bearishly configured suggesting lower prices ahead.
  • In the absence of a bull breakout above 95.65 (July 19 high) DXY is set to continue the slide down towards 93.71 (July 9 swing low).
