US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: A potential test to the 200-day SMA at 94.91 remains on the cards

DXY is struggling for direction on Monday, looking to prolong the positive momentum for the third session in a row following late last week’s gains.
However, the resumption of the recent downtrend remains a possibility, and with it the likeliness of a re-visit to the critical 200-day SMA at 94.91 ahead of September lows in the 93.80 area.
On the other hand, downside pressure should mitigate on a surpass of the 95.88/96.00 band.
