US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Greenback bulls keep the market above the 95.00 mark after US NFP

  • The US Dollar Index (DXY) is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-day simple moving averages within a slightly ascending channel suggesting that the main trend is bullish.
  • DXY has regained some of the lost ground in the last two days but the market will need to break above the 95.65 resistance level in order to reach 97.00, the 2018 high. The move up today was attributed to a better than anticipated Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) for August at 201K vs. 191K expected. 
  • A bear breakout below 94.43 would invalidate the bullish bias.

EUR/USD trades around a flatline below 1.1800 in European trading on Tuesday. The pair lacks any trading impetus as the US Dollar moves little amid market caution ahead of the Fed's December Meeting Minutes release, which could offer insights into the Federal Reserve’s 2026 outlook.

GBP/USD retakes 1.3500 despite the year-end grind

Gold holds the bounce on Fed rate cut bets, safe-haven flows

Gold holds the rebound near $4,350 in the European trading hours on Tuesday.
