US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: DXY consolidates recent losses below the 100-day simple moving averages

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) bull trend is transitioning into a neutral to bearish one as the market broke below the 100-day simple moving average (DMA).  
  • The market is consolidating for the second consecutive day above 93.71 (July 9 swing low) as bulls are attempting to slow down the bearish slide.  However, the RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are in bearish territories suggesting further weakness.
  • Bulls failure to recapture 94.43 (August 28 swing low) and the 94.60 (100 DMA) would lead to more DXY weakness with 93.71 (July 9 swing low) and 93.17 (June 14 swing low) as main targets.
