US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Extra gains could now test 97.60 ahead of 97.80

DXY is prolonging the upside momentum well beyond the 9700 handle and is now facing interim resistance at monthly peaks near 97.60.
Extra buying impulse should lift the index to June tops around 97.80, at shouting distance from the key barrier at 98.00 the figure.
Looking at the broader picture, the constructive outlook on the buck is expected to persist above the critical 200-day SMA at 96.83.
