DXY 30-minute chart
- DXY is strongly rejecting 98.10 resistance while the market is trading above its main SMAs, suggesting that the market is in a consolidation phase.
- A break below 97.80 support can, lead to further losses to 97.60 and potentially to 97.20 if the bears gather enough steam.
- The level to beat for bulls is 98.10 after which 98.34 resistance comes into play.
