DXY daily chart
As illustrated, the price broke the 13 Aug low as well as the 5 Aug structure which exposes 91.80 and lower for a deeper test of demand territory for the days or weeks ahead.
The following illustrates, however, a corrective scenario in the euro from daily resistance.
Daily chart
The price is meeting resistance in the 1.1880/00s which puts a focus on the downside for a meanwhile correction.
The prior level of resistance, near 1.18 the figure, could be targeted on a restest.
This also aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
4-hour chart
On the lower time frames, there are a number of structures for the bear to contend with first.
The first area of support comes in as the daily 38.2% Fibonacci retracement near 1.1845 which has a confluence with the 21-EMA.
A break there opens the prospects of a test of the dynamic daily support and a subsequent follow-through opens the path to the 61.8% target.
