US Dollar Index Technical Analysis: The near-term constructive view stays intact above 97.96

DXY is struggling for direction in the 98.40 region, managing to rebound from Thursday’s lows near the 98.00 handle.
A negative surprise at today’s US Payrolls could encourage sellers to return to the market and drive the buck lower to, initially, the short-term support line at 97.96. A breach of this level should allow for a deeper retracement to the 55-day SMA at 97.58.
In the meantime, the bullish view is expected to persist while the support line, today at 97.96, underpins.

I said yesterday that the song : Just Once In My Life, could be the Cardinals' song after hitting 5 home runs the previous night!

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
