United States Dollar Index Price Forecast: Bears await break below 23.6% Fibo. near 100.80
- DXY struggles to capitalize on its modest intraday uptick beyond the 100-SMA on H4.
- Momentum indicators point to limited upside potential amid an overall capped setup.
- Acceptance below the 23.6% Fibo. level is needed to back the case for further losses.
The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback against a basket of currencies, attracts some sellers following an intraday uptick to the 101.22 area on Monday and fills a modest weekly bullish gap. The index touches a fresh daily low, around the 100.80 region, during the early European session, stalling its recovery move from an over one-week low set on Friday.
From a technical perspective, the DXY struggled to find acceptance above the 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart and is now flirting with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the May-June upswing. Adding to this, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 46.66 hovers just under the neutral line, hinting at subdued momentum. Moreover, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a slightly positive reading near the zero line, suggesting only tentative upside interest within an overall capped setup.
That said, it will still be prudent to wait for some follow-through selling below the 23.6% Fibo. level before positioning for losses towards a deeper cushioned near the 38.2% retracement at 100.20. On the topside, the 100‑period SMA at 101.12 is the first significant resistance, ahead of the recent swing high region around 101.79; A sustained breakout through the latter would be needed to ease the current bearish bias on the DXY.
