US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: DXY finding resistance at 96.00 and pulling back to 95.65 key level on Friday

• The US Dollar Index (DXY) is in a bull trend above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).  
• DXY tried to break above 96.00 figure but sellers took over this Friday driving the price back near 95.65 key level. The bull momentum remains in place, however, DXY bulls need a break above 96.00 in order to travel toward the 2018 high at 97.00.  
• In the absence of a break above 96.00 the market is likely to retreat towards the 95.00 figure.
