US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls reach a new 2018 high, what next

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) reached a new 2018 high at 95.53 on Thursday.  
  • DXY is having a pullback from the new 2018 high as the market is now below the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average on the 15-minute chart. DXY has been evolving in a weak bull channel in the last four days as the bull momentum is progressively slowing down.
  • It is reasonable to expect some profit-taking in the coming sessions as the market repositions itself for the next directional move.
