DXY Technical Analysis: Support emerged around 95.00. Upside bias unchanged above 93.71

After a test of the 95.00 neighbourhood, the index appears to have met some traction and managed to leave behind that area of contention and bounce to the 95.20/30 band.
The support zone around 95.00 stays reinforced by the 21-day SMA at 94.98 and the 100-day SMA at 94.87.
On the upside, interim hurdle appears at the 10-day SMA at 95.52 ahead of recent peaks in the 96.10/15 zone. Around this resistance band lies the Fibo retracement of the 2017-2018 drop at 96.04.
A move higher remains on the cards as long as September’s low at 93.71 holds the downside.
