Key Quotes:
"The greenback's recovery from the losses suffered amid questions about the Trump Administration's ability to enact its economic program despite the Republican Party having a majority in both houses of the legislature and the executive branch, has helped improve the technical tone.
The Dollar Index snapped a three-week downdraft by rising nearly 0.75%. It was its biggest gain in seven weeks. It finished the week above the psychologically important 100 level. Last week's gains managed to retrace 50% of the decline since March 9. That retracement is found near 100.55. The 20-day average, which the Dollar Index has not closed above since the day before the Fed hiked on March 15 is found a few ticks above the retracement objective. The 61.8% retracement is just below 101.
The MACD and Slow Stochastics have turned higher, while the RSI is lagging a bit. Some technicians suggest that with the March low a little below the February low some kind of three-legged downside correction from the cyclical high recorded on January 3 is completed. A downtrend line connecting the early January and March highs comes in near 101.60 at the end of next week (April 7). A move above it would lend credence to ideas that the greenback's uptrend is resuming."
