US Dollar Index Price Analysis: Next support comes in at 89.50

DXY remains within a narrow range around the 90.00 level.
Immediate contention emerges at the 89.50 region.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY treads water around the 90.00 neighbourhood at the beginning of the week.

Last week’s rebound to the vicinity of 90.50 lacked follow through and sparked a subsequent pullback to the current levels. If bulls fail to regain the 90.50 area in the near-term, then DXY could be exposed to a deeper retracement to, initially, last week’s lows in the mid-89.00s.

Further south comes in the YTD low at 89.20 (January 6).

In the meantime, and looking at the broader scenario, while below the 200-day SMA, today at 91.67 the outlook for the buck is forecast to remain negative.

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.
