DXY Technical Analysis: current up move needs to reclaim 95.00 in order to allow extra gains.

DXY extends the rebound well beyond the 94.00 milestone after finding dip-buyers in the 93.75/70 band, or Monday low, area coincident with the top of the cloud.
The index quickly left behind the Fibo retracement of the April-June climb just above 9400 the figure and tested the boundaries of the relevant hourly high at 94.50 during Tuesday’s session.
Further gains should emerge if the buck manages to clear the 10-day SMA and the 21-day SMA, at 94.41 and 94.64, respectively. For the up move to gain sustainability, the greenback should also clear the critical 95.00 handle.
Daily RSI (14) stays around 51 at the time of writing, allowing for further upside.
