US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls challenging the 50-day simple moving average

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) bulls are trying to resume the bull trend as they broke above the 100-day simple moving average.
  • DXY broke above 94.43 (August 28 swing low) and is currently challenging the 50-period simple moving average. The RSI is above 50, the MACD is turning higher and the Stochastic indicator is up, suggesting bullish momentum.  
  • Bulls objective is to break above 95.65 July 19 high in order to reach 97.00 the current 2018 high. A bear breakout below 94.43 might invalidate the bullish bias
