US Dollar Index Price Analysis: A deeper pullback is on the table

DXY drops further and tests 32-month lows around 90.80.
Odds for further retracement remain on the rise.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

The bearish momentum surrounding the dollar accelerates further and forces the US Dollar Index (DXY) to breach the key support at the 91.00 yardstick.

That said, extra downside remains a solid chance in the short-term horizon, with the immediate target at the psychological support in the 90.00 mark ahead of the April 2018 lows near 89.20.

In the meantime, as long as DXY trades below the 200-day SMA, today at 95.87, the offered stance is forecast to persist.

Warsh needs to restore his reputation

We were glad to see our deeply negative reaction to the Warsh press conference was not some personal peculiarity. Just about everybody in the financial press felt the same way. The consensus is building it’s not the Fed in the dog-house but only Warsh. Today the WSJ changed it tune and blasted Warsh—"the honeymoon is already over..”

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
