US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Greenback ending up the day virtually unchanged above the 100-day simple moving average


  • The US Dollar Index is trading in a bull trend on the daily chart as it is evolving above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). 
  • DXY is holding just above the 100-day simple moving average as the market tried to break below it earlier this Tuesday.
  • The RSI is below the 50 line, the MACD is turning bearish while the Stochastic indicator is pointing downwards. The context is suggesting that a continuation down towards 94.43 (August 28 swing low) can be likely on a break below the 100 SMA. However, a bullish break above 96.00 on a daily closing basis would invalidate the bearish bias.
