US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Extra losses remain on the table

DXY is adding to Friday’s sell off below the 92.00 yardstick.
While USD-bears remain well in control, a deeper pullback stays on the cards.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY dropped to levels last seen in April 2018 in the 91.80/75 band, opening the door for the continuation of the downtrend in the short/medium-term horizon.

That said, further losses are likely under the current bearish context, leaving the index ripe for a move further south of recent lows at 91.75. Against this, the next support of note emerges at the April 2018 low at 89.23 ahead of the March 2018 low at 88.94.

The offered stance in the dollar is expected to remain unchanged while below the 200-day SMA, today at 97.48.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
