US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Extra losses look likely near-term

  • DXY’s downside flirts with lows in the mid-91.00s.
  • Next on the downside is located the 91.30 area.

The downtrend in DXY remains unabated, picking up extra pace following the recent break below the critical 200-day SMA in past sessions.

That said, a sustainable breach of the 50-day SMA near 91.60 should pave the way for the continuation of the selling bias with the next target emerging around 91.30, where sit weekly lows recorded in mid-March.

Below the 200-day SMA (92.23) the outlook for DXY is expected to remain on the bearish side.

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.
