US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: Rising chances for another visit to 98.00 and above

The weekly upside in DXY remains well in place, although gains appear so far limited by the 97.70 region.
The greenback needs to surpass, initially, 98.10 (May 3 high) in order to get a chance to re-visit 2019 highs in the 98.30/35 band.
Furthermore, the positive outlook on the index should remain unchanged above the key 200-day SMA at 96.33 and the +3-month support line at 96.43.
