DXY is trading above the primary SMAs, suggesting bullish momentum. The market is gaining strength as it broke above the triangle pattern. However, buyers will need to defend the 98.42 and 98.20 support if they don’t want the market to stay stuck in the range. The Greenback would need a daily close above 98.68 to pull away from the current range.
