- Another day, another up move in DXY. The rally in the greenback remains well and sound and keeps the door open for another visit to YTD peaks in the 97.00 neighbourhood (January 2).
- Gains beyond this point are expected to meet 2018 highs around 97.70 recorded in mid-December.
- The constructive outlook on the buck should prevail as long as the 200-day SMA at 95.41 underpins. This significant area of support is also reinforced by a Fibo retracement of the September-December rally at 95.30 and recent lows at 95.16.
